💨 Abstract

In the UK, rising house prices are pushing buyers towards fixer-upper properties as a more affordable entry point into the market. The average property price in August 2025 was £272,995, up from £220,163 five years prior. Fixer-upper demand is high, with 50.2% of these properties already sold, compared to 37.1% for overall buyer demand.
