Property Market Shows Strength as Prices Rise and Rents Stabilise

The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) point to a strengthening housing market, with UK house prices rising by 3.7% in the year to June 2025. The average property value has reached £269,000, up from the 2.7% annual growth recorded in May.

Alongside this, the rental market continues to grow, with average UK rents climbing 5.9% to £1,343 per month in the year to July 2025. While rents remain higher than last year, the rate of increase has slowed for seven consecutive months, giving tenants welcome stability while landlords still enjoy strong returns.

For Hertfordshire, these figures paint an encouraging picture; demand for quality homes remains strong, and both buyers and landlords can feel confident in the long-term strength of the market. 

Hannah Green, Founder of Greenhill Estates, commented, “The latest data is really positive. House prices continue to rise, which gives homeowners confidence, while the easing in rental inflation provides balance for tenants. It means that whether you’re buying, selling, letting, or renting, the market is in a healthy position. Here in Hertfordshire, we’re seeing strong demand for homes across all price points, and this trend looks set to continue.” 

With growth in both sales and lettings, now could be the ideal time for Hertfordshire residents to make their next move.
