Rightmove’s December 2025 House Price Index gives us a clear picture of a market that slowed towards the end of the year — but one that is quietly setting itself up for a stronger start to 2026.

Most landlords don’t review their property until something goes wrong. But the strongest portfolios are built through regular check-ins, not reactive fixes. December is the perfect time to step back, assess performance and make small changes now that protect returns, reduce stress and set the year ahead up properly.

It’s no secret that the property market often moves in sync with Government announcements and the Autumn Budget is one of the biggest influencers each year. Find out how this has affected your plans today!
