The news arrives as property owners across the UK see the value of their homes increase by an average of £13,000 in the 12 months from February 2024 to February 2025.
The average UK property rose by 5.4% for the year however there was no monthly increase from January 2025, according to today’s report from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Tom Evans, sales director at Purplebricks Estate Agency said: “Everyone’s a winner. Another year-on year price rise is fantastic news for UK homeowners in today’s house price index. We here at Purplebricks are confident that prices will continue to surge in 2025.”
Jo Pocklington, managing director of Purplebricks Mortgages said: “First time buyers should not be spooked by house price rises, even in the wake of this month’s stamp duty hike.
“The average UK home is still comfortably below the £300,000 stamp duty threshold meaning first time buyers have plenty of places to choose from - even including some London boroughs.
“And, lenders are already reducing rates on fixed-rate mortgages in anticipation of another Bank of England base rate cut, on the back of uncertainty sparked by US tariff turmoil.”
