Below is the average price of a property in England in October 2025, with homes categorised by property type and compared to their average price at the same time last year.
| Property type | October 2025 | October 2024 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £470,000 | £465,000 | 1.1% |
| Semi-detached | £290,000 | £279,000 | 3.8% |
| Terraced | £244,000 | £238,000 | 2.4% |
| Flat/maisonette | £219,000 | £227,000 | -3.6% |
| All | £292,000 | £288,000 | 1.4% |
Interestingly, the average price of a flat or maisonette is the only figure which has declined significantly over the past year, possibly indicating the constraints of affordability on buyer demand, amongst other factors.
The UK HPI is based on completed housing transactions. Typically, a house purchase can take six to eight weeks to reach completion. As with other indicators in the housing market, which typically fluctuate from month to month, it is important not to put too much weight on one month’s set of house price data.
