Typical property prices in the UK increase as 2026 begins
UK Housing Market Update: January 2026
As 2026 began, the UK property market demonstrated stability, with average home prices increasing by 0.7% in January—more than offsetting the 0.5% decline recorded in December. The annual rate of growth also inched up to 1.0%, resulting in the average UK home price surpassing £300,000 for the first time.
Although this new price point marks a significant milestone and reflects the market's resilience, many prospective buyers continue to face affordability challenges. On a positive note, broader economic factors are lending some support. Since late 2022, wage growth has consistently outstripped house price inflation, gradually making homes more accessible for buyers.
