Housing transactions rose by 1% in November 2025, according to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
HMRC data shows that UK residential transactions were 100,350 in the month, 1% higher than October 2025 and 8% higher than November 2024.
The November 2025 figures are the highest seasonally adjusted residential transaction figure since March 2025, HMRC said.
The non-seasonally adjusted figures show 103,330 UK residential transactions in November 2025, 3% lower than November 2024 and 12% lower than October 2025.
Quilter financial planner Ian Futcher said: “November’s transaction figures suggest a housing market that is treading water rather than moving decisively in either direction.
“On a seasonally adjusted basis, residential transactions edged up to 100,350, a 1% increase on October and 8% higher than a year ago, marking the strongest reading since March. While that points to some underlying resilience, it falls short of signalling a meaningful recovery in activity.”
Amy Reynolds, head of sales at Richmond estate agency Antony Roberts, said: “Although these transaction numbers are a little dated, reflecting a period where there was plenty of uncertainty in the market, since then there have been clear signs that the market is on a more positive footing. It isn’t a market that is racing ahead, but it does feel smoother and more predictable.”
