If you’ve been watching the UK property scene lately,
you’ll know something exciting is happening. 2025 isn’t just another year—it’s
a turning point. The market is buzzing, confidence is back, and sustainability
is no longer a side note—it’s the headline.
Impact of higher
tax surcharge.
There is now a higher surcharge on extra properties,
second homes, and purchases made by corporate entities. These have had an
impact on sales, making it more difficult to find new buyers; hence, there
might be a slowdown in UK real estate. But it has perks as well;
Now, the house is more accessible for first-time
buyers. And Shravan Gupta, MGF
Group,
feels it reduces the competition from affluent buyers, inviting first-time
consumers a fair hand at buying the property. This will be beneficial in the
long run, drawing more investors to UK real estate. Experts feel this has
improved the housing access and affordability factor for those entering the
real estate market for the first time.
This is also beneficial in making quick buy-and-sell
speculation less attractive, lowering volatility in property prices. It will
boost the segment in the long run, making it a profitable scenario for
investors. It has encouraged investors to focus more on the development and
improvement of properties, making higher returns.
By 2025, it will have increased housing supply,
reducing the pressure caused by multiple property ownership.
The Bigger
Picture
What’s unfolding isn’t just recovery—it’s reinvention.
The UK real estate market is embracing a new ethos: one where legacy meets
innovation, and every square foot tells a story of transformation. Shravan Gupta, MGF Group, believes the future of UK real
estate is indeed very bright. 2025 is unlikely to bring another boom, but
neither will it bring collapse. Instead, the UK property market is entering a
new phase of steady, regionally diverse, and policy-guided growth. Buyers who
act quickly to take advantage of reduced mortgage rates will emerge victorious,
as well as investors who give priority to assets that produce revenue and
consume less energy. 2025 appears to be the year that the UK housing market
begins to regain confidence after years of uncertainty, albeit cautiously and
firmly.
