Where in the UK the average home seller gained the most last year
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"London has now surpassed the North East of England as the region where homeowners are most likely to sell their property for less than they originally paid, new analysis suggests. Research by property firm Hamptons, which examined English regions and Wales, estimates that 14.8 per cent of London sellers in 2025 offloaded their homes at a loss. This figure represents the highest proportion in their study, significantly exceeding the national average of 8.7 per cent."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigates political financing and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes reporting from the ground, speaking to both sides, remaining accessible without paywalls, and relying on donations from readers who can afford to support quality journalism. London has overtaken the North East of England as the region with the highest share of homeowners selling at a loss, with Hamptons' analysis estimating 14.8 per cent of London sellers offloaded homes at a loss in 2025 versus a national average of 8.7 per cent. Historically the North East faced the highest probability of loss-making sales, but recent price growth in northern regions reduced its share to 13.9 per cent in 2025.
