Regional Update on the Property Market : 2025 vs 2023

The UK property market continues its upward trend, with 121,665 homes sold subject to contract in May 2025—a 6.3% rise from 2024 and a striking 23.4% increase from May 2023’s total of 98,609. This article explores how different regions are contributing to this growth.

In May 2025, 121,665 homes were sold subject to contract across the UK. That’s 6.3% more than May 2024, and a massive 23.4% jump compared to May 2023 when only 98,609 homes sold.

Zooming in by region, the market uplift is visible everywhere. Here are the regions listed in order of the highest to lowest increase in the number of homes sold (subject to contract) in May 2025 compared to May 2023:

· East Midlands - Up 30.7%

· West Midlands - Up 27.9%

· East Anglia - Up 27.8%

· North West - Up 27.1%

· Yorks & Humber - Up 26.3%

· Wales - Up 25.1%

· North East - Up 24.5%

· Scotland - Up 22.6%

· South East - Up 20.7%

· South West - Up 16.9%

· London - Up 15.6%

· Northern Ireland - Up 14.2%

In Attleborough, we’re seeing this momentum on the ground too. More viewings, more offers, and more homes going under offer.

But this doesn’t mean the property market is booming. Nationally, only around 54% of homes listed for sale in the past 24 months have actually sold and completed. That means 46% didn’t. They were withdrawn and the homes owners didn’t move, often due to being overpriced.

So yes, homes are selling. But only when sellers are realistic with price and presentation.

My Thoughts on the Budget/Autumn Statement for ATTLEBOROUGH homeowners & landlords

The Autumn Budget brought predictable housing and tax shifts, headlined by a 2028 levy on £2m+ homes that affects under 1% of properties but will shape behaviour for years.
