What the model expects
The central estimate at each horizon, and the range prices land in 8 times out of 10.
| Horizon | Expected | 80% range | Chance of a rise | Chance of beating inflation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In 3 months (November 2026) | £471,079 | £458,407 – £483,751 | 53% | 37% |
| In 4 months (December 2026) | £471,319 | £456,489 – £486,149 | 53% | 35% |
| In 12 months (August 2027) | £473,237 | £444,966 – £501,509 | 55% | 27% |
The outlook carries the region's own monthly price history forward: the recent trend and how far prices usually stray from it. It knows nothing about interest-rate decisions, new laws or local projects, so read it as a description of momentum, not a forecast to act on.
