Property News this Week:

 
English rent prices have reached another record high, growing by close to 10% in the past year, official figures show. The typical private rental price in England rose 9.3% in the year up to November, costing £116 more than 12 months earlier, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
 
UK House Prices To Grow By Up To 3% in 2025 
 
British house prices are set to grow by up to 3% next year as property remains in short supply across much of the country and new home building has been weak, mortgage lender Halifax predicted on Wednesday.
 
A more stable economy and increased local powers and funding will improve the property landscape, however shifting the dial on development and investment will be a slow process as the region fights to overcome hurdles.

That concludes this week’s updates. If you have any thoughts or questions about these headlines, feel free to reply—I’d love to chat with you about the latest market trends and discuss your investment goals.

As the festive season begins, we’re taking a short break over Christmas but will return in the New Year with all the latest property updates.

Wishing you a joyful and relaxing holiday season!
