Housing markets around the world have faced strong headwinds since the pandemic boom period. Household finances and purchasing power fell under pressure from surging household bills and higher borrowing costs, and the outlook for interest rates remains murky at best. So, what does the year ahead have in store for house prices in the UK and more broadly in Europe?  

Host Anna Ward is joined by Knight Frank's head of UK residential research, Tom Bill, head of European residential research, Kate Everett Allen and head of ESG research, Flora Harley.  

The panel are quizzed on how global housing markets are performing – key hotspots for 2025 and what the data is telling us. They share their views on whether house prices will rise or fall this year in key regions around the world – and their key 2025 predictions for the year ahead.
