Northern Residential Investment & Development Transactions 2025

2025 was a record year for our team in Leeds, with 24 transactions completed and at least one deal successfully concluded in every month of the year. Activity spanned the
entirety of the Midlands and Northern UK, with assets transacting between £1M and over £60M. 

Throughout 2025, the Northern regions and Midlands continued to post strong house price growth, with 4%+ increases in most northern regional markets compared to
the national average of 2.2%. This was mirrored in the regional rental markets, which outperformed the national average of 3.9%, reinforcing the appeal of these markets to
investors seeking stronger capital growth and income returns.

This is not to say the market has been easy - far from it. However, our experience throughout 2025 demonstrates that there remains significant capital available for the
right opportunities and the PRS market has proven relatively resilient to wider geopolitical uncertainty compared with other sectors. 

Looking ahead to 2026, we anticipate more of the same. With the cost of debt expected to continue easing, the gap between vendor and investor expectations should narrow
further, creating increased liquidity and opportunity across the sector. 

If you are looking to sell or buy property, please do contact one of the team and we would be delighted to discuss your requirements.
