In response to the ONS House Price Index data published today which showed that average UK house prices increased by 3.8%, to £270,000, in the 12 months to April 2026, Nick Leeming, Chairman of national estate agency Jackson-Stops, comments:

"The latest figures point to a notable strengthening in annual house price growth, reflecting a market that has remained more resilient than many expected despite continued affordability pressures and a higher borrowing cost environment.

"While demand has not returned uniformly across all markets, well-priced homes in desirable locations continue to attract competitive interest, particularly where supply remains constrained. This is supporting values in many parts of the country, even as buyers remain highly selective and focused on value.

"It is important to view these figures in context. Comparisons with a weaker period earlier in the year are contributing to the increase in the annual growth rate, while market conditions on the ground remain more measured than headline figures alone may suggest.

"Looking ahead, affordability, mortgage pricing and consumer confidence will continue to shape activity over the coming months. Ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty means the outlook remains difficult to predict, but the underlying demand for quality housing continues to provide support for the market."

In response to the HMRC property transactions data published today, Nick Leeming, Chairman of Jackson-Stops, comments:

In response to the published today, Nick Leeming, Chairman of , comments:

"Today’s HMRC figures point to a rebound in housing transactions in April 2026, although the rise needs to be viewed in the context of a highly distorted comparison period last year. Activity in April 2025 was unusually subdued after many buyers pulled purchases forward into March to complete ahead of .

"The figures are another reminder of the extent to which continues to drive transaction timing and market behaviour, often obscuring underlying levels of demand. Our research suggests that removing for alone could unlock as many as 500,000 additional homes to market within a year, improving liquidity and easing pressure across the wider .

"More broadly, today’s data reflects a market that remains active, but increasingly value-driven. Buyers are more price-sensitive than they were a year ago, and activity is most resilient where sellers price realistically and align with current market expectations."
