Half of all the UK’s 30 million homes increased in value last year, with an average gain of £9,900, according to data from Zoopla.
The property website said its analysis, published Thursday, showed that 15.2 million homes registered an increase in value of 1% or more. It found that 3.1 million homeowners saw the value of their property increase by £20,000 or more.
In contrast, the analysis showed that 9.1 million homes lost at least 1% of their value over the course of last year, by an average of £10,800. The remaining 5.6 million homes maintained their value to within plus or minus 1%.
Across all of the UK’s 30 million homes, the average overall price change was found to be a £2,300 increase.
Zoopla said the data showed a “clear-cut regional hierarchy”, as more than 70% of homeowners in northern regions of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland recorded value gains.
Northern Ireland had the highest share of homes increasing in value in 2025, with 94% of properties seeing price gains by an average of £14,200.
Scotland was the region with the second-biggest proportion of homes rising in value, with 73% of properties recording increases by an average of £10,400.
A similar proportion (72%) of homes in the North West gained in value last year, by an average £9,700.
London came lower down in the table, with Zoopla’s analysis showing that 35% of homes increased in value last year, though it saw the biggest average gain of £17,400.

Zoopla’s analysis also showed which local authority in each region had the most homes climb in value last year. Renfrewshire had the biggest share of homes recording price gains in Scotland, with 95% of properties increasing in value by an average of £12,500.
In the North West, Chorley had the biggest proportion of homes increasing in value, with 88% of homes by an average of £11,500.
Wrexham was found to have the most homes increasing in value in Wales in 2025, with 79% of properties seeing price gains by an average £10,400.
In London, Waltham Forest led the charge, with 59% home rising in value last year by £26,600 on average.
Zoopla said that certain property types proved particularly resilient to market pressures last year, saying that terraced and semi-detached homes were the most likely to see consistent value increases, with more than half (56%) across the UK recording gains.
Flats, on the other hand, were most likely to have lost value by 1% or more last year, with half seeing prices fall over 2025.
