UK June house prices, RICS survey, -7 (vs. -9 expected)

Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) House Price Balance June 2025 comes in at -7%

  • expected -9%, prior –7%

A tax hike on property transactions in April precipitated a downturn in the UK property market, not unexpectedly. The impact is diminishing. RICS mention:

  • new buyer enquiries turned positive for first time since December
  • agreed sales also improved
  • “The UK residential market appears to be entering a more settled phase, with demand showing signs of stabilising following a period of volatility,”
  • “The earlier distortion caused by transactions being brought forward ahead of the Stamp Duty changes now appears to have largely dissipated, allowing underlying trends to re-emerge.”
