This map highlights the average size of homes sold across the UK since 2020, measured in square feet from completed sales. What stands out is how little the averages vary between regions, despite very different housing types. Northern Ireland is the clear exception, with noticeably larger homes on average.

UK home sales agreed in 2025 tell a story of steady progress rather than drama.

The market is functioning, confident, and increasingly shaped by local conditions.
