Despite the promising start to 2025, there remain uncertainties for the year ahead, according to the latest report from Rightmove.

Rightmove's hotspot table is made up of a variety of locations across Great Britain, where prices rose the most compared to the end of last year.

Newly released data from Rightmove has revealed a record number of Boxing Day properties were listed for sale by agents on the 26th of December 2024.

New seller asking prices have fallen by 1.7% this month to £360,197, in line with seasonal norms.

Around 1.15 million transactions are expected next year, with first-time buyers forecast to be particularly active.

Rightmove's annual list of the happiest places to live, now in its 13th year, was completed by over 35,000 people across Great Britain.

Pre and post-Budget 'jitters' are the likely cause of the 1.4% drop in average new seller asking prices this month, according to the latest figures released by Rightmove.

Asking prices for newly marketed homes edged up slightly this month - but by a much lower amount than the seasonal norm, according to the latest market analysis from Rightmove.

Average advertised rent for new properties coming to the market has hit a new quarterly record, according to Rightmove's latest market analysis.

The national average advertised rent outside of the capital is now a record £1,349 per calendar month, 5% higher than last year.
