  • Nearly half of all homemovers would consider a new build property, new build sales accounting for 1 in every 8 properties sold across the UK.
  • Research shows new build properties are more likely to be energy and environmentally efficient, with homeowners attracted by low maintenance, warranties and insurance guarantees (Dataloft, Property Academy, 2020).

UK home sales agreed in 2025 tell a story of steady progress rather than drama. Many regions are seeing uplift thanks to realistic pricing and strong demand, while others are adjusting to affordability and expectations. The market is functioning, confident, and increasingly shaped by local conditions.
