Top Property Features to Watch in 2025

According to Knight Frank, the UK property market is expected to grow on average by 2.5% in 2025. Plus, they note wealthy buyers are increasingly becoming more selective about the features they desire when house hunting.

Yahoo Finance reports that popular trends and choices include a rise in demand for energy-efficient homes, wellness-orientated spaces, and properties with outdoor areas. These preferences shape the market, so those involved in the property sector must consider these trends when pursuing the best purchase outcomes and investment opportunities. 

Increased Activity in the Prime Property Market 

Buyers are focusing on features that provide long-term value, including energy efficiency and sustainability. These attributes not only enhance the appeal of homes but also lower the cost of ownership, making properties more affordable in the long run. And these gains are magnified for larger super prime properties where savings are arguably greatest.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency Considerations

Energy-efficient homes and spaces designed with wellness in mind have moved beyond being just a passing trend. These highly sought-after property features enhance the long-term value for buyers and contribute to a more sustainable future. Homes with energy-efficient improvements and wellness amenities offer significant savings on running costs over time, making them a wise investment.

While there may be a slightly higher initial cost, these features help future-proof properties, ensuring they remain attractive and valuable in an increasingly eco-conscious market. As demand for sustainable living grows, these properties will likely become even more desirable, strengthening their position in the market with an increase in demand and value in the coming years.

Our CEO, Islay Robinson, commented: 

“As we look toward 2025, it’s clear that buyers are increasingly drawn to properties that offer energy efficiency, wellness benefits, and long-term sustainability. These considerations are mover up the wish list and for those looking to invest in property, these features will play a crucial role in enhancing future value. Understanding and capitalising on these evolving trends will provide richer opportunities in the coming year.”
