Imagine a housing market that just won't quit—despite sky-high mortgage rates and tax jitters, the UK held strong in 2025, with London lagging at a mere 1.3% price growth while the North surged ahead. Nationwide's chief economist Robert Gardner breaks it down: expect 2-4% growth in 2026 as affordability eases, but London's southern slump could reshape where dreams of homeownership take root. This resilience story matters because it signals hope for buyers squeezed by costs, potentially narrowing the North-South divide for good.
