Key Market Indicators
Bank of England Base Rate
4.50%
The base rate directly influences mortgage rates. Markets are pricing in gradual cuts through 2025-2026, which would reduce mortgage costs and potentially stimulate demand.
UK Inflation (CPI)
3.5%
Inflation affects both the real return on property investments and the Bank's rate decisions. Property historically acts as an inflation hedge, with rents and values tending to rise with the price level.
Average House Price (UK)
£290,000
The UK average has shown moderate growth. Regional variation remains significant, with London and the South East at the highest absolute prices but northern regions showing stronger percentage growth.
Housing Supply Gap
~150k/year
The UK is building approximately 200,000 homes per year against a target of 300,000-370,000. This structural undersupply continues to support long-term property values and rental demand.
