A look at future house prices and rents based on a RICS survey

We look at predicted growth for house prices and rents based on a recent RICS sentiment survey

  • House prices and rental values are expected to rise across most of the UK over the next three months, based on the latest RICS sentiment survey.
  • All surveyors in the North and West Midlands thought rents would rise over the next 3 months. Confidence for house price growth highest in Yorkshire & The Humber, North West and London.
  • Expectations of house price growth have risen despite the interest rate rise in December, as stock levels remain close to historic lows.
  • The continued imbalance in supply and demand is also the driving force behind rental growth. National 12 month rental growth projections now stand at 4.5%.
  • Source: Dataloft, RICS (net balance score is calculated by the proportion of survey respondents reporting a rise minus those reporting a fall in the given indicator)

A quick look at Attleborough’s property market, where this time, I'm focusing on the £/sq.ft of all property that was 'for sale' in July—a key indicator of how the market is moving. More than just a number, it reflects the mix of homes for sale and the story behind local property values.

In early 2023, headlines warned of a looming UK house price crash—but the reality has played out quite differently. Rather than collapse, the market has shown resilience, with modest shifts and growing stability, particularly in towns like Attleborough. As we move through 2025, fears of a crash appear increasingly unfounded.
