2020 Property price forecast

An average of independent forecasts predicts the average price of a property will rise by 1.8% over 2020 and 15.9%, cumulatively, over the next five years, an increase in purchase price of just over £37,000.

With predicted growth of 2%, Scotland and the North West are anticipated to experience the fastest rate of price growth over 2020.

Over the next five years all regions of the UK are anticipated to witness double digit price growth, the North West and Yorkshire and the Humber leading the pack.

Despite predictions that cumulative growth across the capital will be below that of other regions, the average price of a property across London looks set to rise by over £50,000 over the next four years.
