The North West saw the highest annual growth at 4.7%, while London recorded the lowest, a 2.5% annual decrease to an average of £554,000.

Wales recorded an average price of £213,000, down 0.9% on the month but up 1.8% annually. England recorded 111 repossession sales in April 2026 and Wales five. Seasonally adjusted residential transactions of £40,000 or more were estimated at 99,000 in June 2026, 2.5% above a year earlier but 0.2% below May 2026.
