When Britain voted to leave the European Union on 23rd June 2016, many predicted the UK housing market was heading for trouble. Then Chancellor, George Osborne, warned house prices could fall by as much as 18%.

Keir Starmer’s resignation will not automatically cause house prices to fall or mortgage rates to rise, but it does inject another dose of uncertainty into the UK property market

Shepperton's private rental market has changed considerably over the last five years. In 2021, the average monthly rent in Shepperton was £1,380. So far in 2026, that figure stands at £1,968. That is a rise of 42.6%.

When people talk about the property market in Shepperton, the conversation normally centres on house prices. Yet price is only part of the story. The size of a home matters too. A £500,000 home in one part of the country may offer significantly more space than a similarly priced home elsewhere.
