Market Index

Supply continues to build in the capital's high-value sales market.

60% of global cities tracked by Savills saw property values increase in the first half of the year, led by Tokyo and Berlin, while 77% saw rental prices rise.

Wealthy buyers are negotiating millions off super-prime homes in the capital, reports blue-blooded bank. But there's more resilience beyond the Golden Postcodes.

42% fewer sales were agreed in Week 30 2025 compared to the same seven day period in 2024, and 9% fewer through the year so far.

'The market appears to be back on track,' says one property portal boss.

Positivity around planning reform has not led to more site acquisitions, reported Savills.

A third fewer sales were agreed in Week 29 2025 compared 2024, but more homes are going Under Offer.

Property portal now expects average asking prices to rise by just 2% through 2025, although transaction volumes remain strong.

'The rental market softened more quickly than we anticipated,' says estate agency.

'We expect this healthy balance between supply and demand to continue' through the summer, says Foxtons.

London was the only region to see property values fall in May, according to the latest UK HPI.

Agreed Sales remain thin on the ground in the capital's prime postcodes, but the last few weeks have seen more homes go Under Offer than in previous years.
