The London property market is always changing. As we move into 2025, buyers, sellers, and investors are all asking the same question — what can we expect from the housing market this year? At JSEstateAgents, we’ve put together the latest trends, expert insights, and key predictions to help you stay informed.
What Happened in 2024?
In 2024, London saw a period of adjustment. With interest rates stabilising and inflation cooling, confidence began to return to the housing market. Prices held steady in most areas, while popular zones like Rotherhithe, Canary Wharf, and South East London continued to see steady demand from buyers and renters alike.
House Prices in 2025
Experts predict that average property prices in London will rise modestly by 1% to 3% in 2025. While the boom years may be behind us for now, this is a sign of a more stable and sustainable market.
- Outer London areas are expected to see stronger growth, driven by better transport links and improved affordability.
- Central London may remain flat, but demand for luxury apartments and overseas buyers will support the high-end market.
- First-time buyers will continue to benefit from government schemes and competitive mortgage products.
Rental Market Outlook
Rents across London are expected to rise further in 2025 due to high demand and limited supply. Areas like Rotherhithe and Greenwich remain attractive to young professionals and families due to their riverside locations, good schools, and fast connections to the city centre.
Landlords should see strong returns, while tenants may need to act fast to secure a good property at a fair price.
Key Factors to Watch
- Interest Rates: Stable rates will support affordability for buyers in 2025.
- ULEZ Expansion: Changes to the Ultra Low Emission Zone may affect demand in certain areas, particularly outer boroughs.
- Build-to-Rent Developments: New rental homes across London could ease pressure on the market over time.
- Remote Work Trends: Home buyers continue to seek space and flexibility, especially in family-friendly zones.
