UK House Sales. January 2026 vs January 2024. A market quietly gathering pace.
If you strip out the noise and look purely at sales agreed, January 2026 is telling a far more constructive story than many expected.

House Prices Since 1900
At first glance, the numbers in this chart look almost absurd. In many parts of the UK, house prices are now forty, fifty, sixty, even ninety thousand per cent higher than they were in 1900. London sits at the extreme end of that scale, but every single region tells the same underlying story.

This map shows the percentage of homes in Frome that are flats or apartments, broken down by neighbourhood. The darker the red, the higher the proportion of apartments. The lighter yellows indicate areas dominated by houses. Where the map turns grey, there are effectively no flats or apartments at all.
