The September 2025 Halifax House Price Index was released earlier today – what is happening in the market at the moment?
The Halifax House Price Index (HPI) for September 2025 was published today – we’ve put together an overview of what it covers.
The latest data shows that UK house prices have decreased by -0.3% in September, following a +0.2% rise in August. The average house price now sits at £298,184.
According to the index, year-on-year prices are +1.3%, another month of decline after August’s +2.0%. England is showing a clear North/South divide, with North East continuing to record the fastest pace of growth. Yet, Northern Ireland continues to record the strongest property price growth of any nation or region in the UK, with a +6.5% increase over the past year, and an average home now costing £216,496. However, this is another slight decline from last month’s +7.9%. increase.
Amanda Bryden, Head of Mortgages, Halifax noted that “The average UK house price edged down by -0.3% (£794) in September, following a modest rise in August. The typical home now costs £298,184. Over the past 12 months prices have grown by +1.3%, the slowest annual rate since April 2024. This slight monthly dip in house prices reflects a housing market that has remained broadly stable, prices are up +0.3% since the start of the year.”
The next Halifax House Price Index is scheduled for release on Friday 7th November 2025.
