Enness Global CEO, Islay Robinson comments on the latest Office for National Statistics data, which shows that average UK house prices rose 3.0% in the year to August 2025, reaching a typical value of £273,000.
The figures suggest the market is currently holding steady rather than building real momentum. Ongoing tax changes and wider budget uncertainty are causing some buyers, particularly at the higher end and in London, to delay decisions, resulting in transactions being put on hold.
