Savills Report Shows Welsh Housing Market Outpaces UK Growth

Savills plc has released a new research report highlighting the performance of the Welsh housing market, which has outpaced the wider UK market. According to the analysis, house prices in Wales grew by 3.1% in the year to September 2025 and by 2.2% in the first nine months of the year. Additionally, sales transactions in Wales were up 12.4% compared to 2024, driven by falling mortgage rates and improved affordability. In contrast, the UK overall saw house prices rise by 2.3% over the year and just 0.5% in the first nine months of 2025. Despite the positive trends, the report underscores ongoing challenges in delivering both private and affordable housing. Strong demand for land from developers was noted, but industry leaders emphasized the need to unlock more development opportunities and streamline the planning process. The analysis also calls for innovative funding mechanisms and greater collaboration between stakeholders to meet housebuilding targets and support local communities.
