October 2025 | Property Market Review
UK buyers and sellers may have been tempted to postpone major decisions; to wait until after the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement, which is scheduled for 26 November. Concerns over possible tax changes appear to have supressed market activity over recent weeks and price growth has been modest.
In other respects, market conditions in October were similar to those of the previous month: rental demand still exceeded demand and, by some accounts, the gulf continued to widen. This suggests that average rents may be set to rise more rapidly in the final quarter of 2025 and in the New Year.
Yields have comfortably exceeded inflation in all nations and regions and, indeed, appear to be improving still further. Taking an average of all major indices, we see returns ranging from 5.8% in Greater London, up to over 8% in the more affordable regions further north.
