As 2025 comes to a close, the property market across Hereford and the wider Herefordshire area has shown steady, encouraging growth.

While national markets have been mixed, Hereford has remained resilient, attracting buyers with its character homes, green surroundings and strong community feel. Below is a comprehensive review of the year, including the latest available price data and how HR1, HR2 and HR4 have performed.

📈 House Price Performance in Herefordshire (2025)

According to the latest UK House Price Index and ONS data, 2025 has been a year of moderate, stable growth across Herefordshire:

Average house price (Aug 2025): £294,000 — up 4.9% year-on-year

Average house price (Sep 2025 provisional): £287,000 — up 2.0% year-on-year

3-month smoothed estimate to May 2025: +2.6% annual growth

5-year rise in Hereford (city level): approx. +21%

2025 Average Prices by Property Type (County-wide)

Detached: ~£450,000

Semi-Detached: ~£279,000–£285,000

Terraced: ~£208,000–£212,000

Although postcode-specific data (HR1, HR2, HR4) isn’t published publicly at the same detail, price movement in these areas closely mirrors the county average: growth between 2% and 5% over the past year.

Renovation opportunities sold well.

Good value kept the market active even during quieter national cycles.

🏡 HR4 – West & Central Hereford

Including Whitecross, Kings Acre and Credenhill, HR4 has been one of the most active markets this year.

The Budget 2025

Williams Estate Agents quick budget takeaway for the property market.

It looks as though most property in Herefordshire will not be affected by the budget. Although there was little to stimpulate or take the pressure of homeowners. Here are the first main take aways from todays budget.

🏡 UK Budget 2025: What It Means for the Property Market

A quick, punchy breakdown of the key changes hitting UK housing

💷 1. New “Mansion Tax” for £2m+ Homes

🏰 Annual surcharge on properties over £2 million.

📈 Higher tiers for £2–2.5m, £2.5–5m, and £5m+.

🗓️ Starts being collected from 2028.

🎯 Aimed at wealthier homeowners and second-home owners.

📉 Could cool demand at the top end of the market.

🏠 2. What This Means for the Market

⏸️ Buyers and sellers holding back — general market uncertainty.

📉 Asking prices fell 1.8% in November as people waited for Budget clarity.

💸 High-value sellers may face reduced demand and softer offers.

📉 Expected slowdown in the luxury sector.

👶 3. First-Time Buyers: The Good & The Meh

👍 Good News

🛡️ Mortgage Guarantee Scheme made PERMANENT — 5% deposits remain available.

🏡 Helps FTBs with smaller deposits access the market more reliably.

🤷 What’s Missing

🚫 No new Stamp Duty reliefs or incentives for FTBs.

👷 Help to Buy may return, but wasn’t confirmed in the Budget.

📒 Affordability still ruled by mortgage rates & monthly repayments.

📊 4. Housebuilder Stocks on Budget Day

Here’s how three major UK housebuilders reacted:

🏢 Company 🎟️ Ticker 💰 Price 🔼 Day Change

🧱 Barratt Redrow BTRW 397.75p +0.76%

🏗️ Bellway BWY 2,840.00p +0.85%

🏙️ Berkeley Group BKG 3,855.00p +0.36%

Takeaway:

📈 Housebuilder sentiment stayed positive, suggesting investors see stability in development demand, even with tax changes at the top end.

🔍 5. What This All Means

🎯 FTBs benefit a little — more certainty on 5% deposit mortgages.

🏘️ Mid-market homes: little direct impact but may see softened demand.

🏰 High-end sellers: expect lower appetite due to the new annual tax.

📉 Market-wide: short-term slowdown, long-term depends on mortgage rates & future reforms.
