    Savills Publishes 2025 UK Cross-Sector Forecasts

    Property experts Savills have just unveiled their UK cross-sector investment forecasts for the coming year. Their projections reveal an overall positive outlook for many sectors, including residential buy-to-let in the North West region.

    They say that this is due to a recovery in capital value growth in most sectors. While income will still be the main driver of property performance from 2025, this boost in capital value growth is expected to augment investor returns.

    This prediction has led Savills to raise the outlook for the average total return in UK real estate to 7.4%, compared to 6.8% last year.

    The report states that 12 UK property sub-sectors are forecast to see annualised returns of over 8% between 2025 and 2029. This is a more optimistic projection than last year when eight sectors were predicted to generate over 8% between 2024 and 2028.

    The North West Region Is Forecast to See the UK's Highest Five-Year Capital Growth Rate in 2025 and Beyond!

    Read more about this in our guide to the latest Savill's Residential Property Market Forecast and learn which UK regions to consider for buy to let investment.

      North West BTL Named ‘Top Performer’ for 2025 Annualised Returns

      Looking at the outlook for 2025, Savills has forecast that residential buy-to-let in the North West is likely to be the top performer for annualised returns over the coming year. They predict returns of over 10% per annum between 2025 and 2029.

      This is the second consecutive year the property experts have stated that North West buy-to-let is expected to perform best out of all the UK real estate sub-sectors they analyse. Over 2024, the North West regularly topped regional property price growth tables and has become increasingly popular as a location for buy-to-let investment.

      At RWinvest we provide investors with some of the best investment opportunities in the residential buy-to-let market, with a special focus on the North West as one of the most exciting investment hotspots. Our latest off-plan launch, SoapWorks, is located in Liverpool – one of the busiest rental markets in the country – in a key regeneration zone expected to see strong property price growth of 29.4% in the next five years.

      Further Base Rate Cuts Expected in 2025

      Savills’ optimistic outlook for UK real estate performance in the coming year has also been influenced by expectations of further interest rate cuts.

      James Gulliford, Savills Joint Head of UK investment, said: “The 40-year high of inflation has passed, and most forecasters are predicting around 100 basis points of base rate cuts from now until the end of 2025. Both of these are good news for land and property occupiers and landlords and should bring increased levels of transactional activity in many markets.

      “However, the new Government stuck its policy flag in the ground with the Budget, and while higher taxes to support public spending were never going to be a surprise, the details of this have been enough to cool some of our forward views a little. Overall, however, our outlook for 2025 and beyond is more positive than it was 12 months ago with more income and capital value growth on offer in most sectors. ”

        It will be my third investment apartment with RW Invest and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Sean Orrett and Chloe Walker really do go the extra mile. Chloe in particular helped me through a particularly hard time with solicitors and all the paperwork that was involved. Living in a different country and negotiating all the nuances that come with investing, she negotiated with ease and gusto. A big thanks to you both.

        Daniel Stewart, has assisted me every step of the way. This is my first property purchase and so took Daniel up on his offer to guide me through every step no matter how small. I felt comforted to have his assistance in documents I needed to both understand and sign. Couldn't be happier with the help and customer care I have received so far.
