Read our privacy policy House prices are expected to be around £45,000 higher on average by 2028, as market demand and buying power recovers, according to a forecast. Interest rates are expected to have peaked and the worst of the house prices falls look to be behind us, but the first cut to rates still looks to be some way off Lucian Cook, Savills Transactions are expected to remain at around 1.01 million in 2024, rising to 1.16 million per year at the end of the forecast period in 2028, as mortgage buyers gradually return to the market. Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills, said: “Interest rates are expected to have peaked and the worst of the house prices falls look to be behind us, but the first cut to rates still looks to be some way off. “The expectation of a gradual reduction in rates suggests a progressive restoration of buying power and steady recovery in demand.” Here are the average house prices predicted by Savills by 2028, followed by the increase it predicts compared with 2023 house prices in cash terms.
