The graphic illustrates the staggering percentage increases in house prices across various regions of the UK over the last 50 years. The data, sourced from Land Registry, Denton House Research and Nationwide, sheds light on how each part of the UK has seen unprecedented growth. Here’s a breakdown, listed in order of the size of growth: London: 3,856% South East: 2,905% South West: 2,807% East Anglia: 2,558% North West: 2,512% East Midlands: 2,501% West Midlands: 2,329% Wales: 2,081% Northern Ireland: 2,085% Yorkshire & Humberside: 1,951% North East: 1,915% Scotland: 1,802% This extraordinary surge in UK house prices raises a few important points of comparison. Inflation over the last 50 years in the UK has been 891%. Over the same period, the average price of a new car has risen by around 1,400%. Household goods like televisions, while improving in functionality and quality, have seen price increases of only 50% to 100%, yet a pint of beer has increased by 2,100%. In context, average UK wages have risen by 1,867%. The housing market's growth dwarfs these figures, making property one of the most significant long-term investments over the last five decades. While inflation, wage growth, and population density have played roles in these price rises, the stark differences between regions—especially London compared to other parts of the UK—show that ‘location location location’ still reigns supreme in property investment decisions. Of course, those regions that have not performed so well in the long term, have seen some of the best growth over the last five to ten years, so who knows if they are starting to catch up with the other regions? Only time will tell! This historic growth suggests that for those who own homes, particularly in certain areas, their properties have not only provided shelter but have become one of the best investments they could have made.

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 For property owners and landlords in Reading, the latest insights on the average age of first-time buyers reveal a surprising trend. While it’s often assumed that the age of first-time buyers has significantly increased over the last two decades, the data tells a different story. In the UK, excluding London, the average age of a first-time buyer has only risen from 30 years and 7 months in 2005 to 33 years in 2023. In London, traditionally known for its high property prices, the age has increased from 32 years in 2005 to 35 years and 4 months today. This modest rise reflects a resilient market where buyers are still entering the market earlier than many might expect, despite economic challenges. For those in Reading and the surrounding area, this stability suggests continued demand for properties, making it an opportune time for landlords and property owners to consider their home ownership and investment strategies. #rdguk #RDG #propertynews #firsttimehomebuyer #FTB #readinguk #ReadingTown #estateagent #BespokeEstateAgents #MyBepsokeAgent #HomeSweetHome #buyingahome
