ZOOPLA UK HOUSE PRICE INDEX REPORT – SEPTEMBER 2026

SUMMARY OF REPORT

Headline UK picture

UK house-price inflation has slowed to 0.8% annually, the lowest rate for more than two years. At the same time, sales agreed are 9% lower than a year ago, while the stock of homes for sale has risen 5%, meaning buyers have more choice and sellers face more competition.
