UK Housing Market Shifts: South Falls While North Gains Ground

London house prices dropped 1.1% year-on-year to £534,831, while the south-east fell 2% to £381,654 in June 2026. Northern Ireland, Scotland, and English northern regions grew 7.4%, 3.9%, and 2–3% respectively. This reversal narrows the north-south price gap that has defined UK housing for decades.
