Was 2014 a good year to buy?
A home bought at the 2014 median of £195,000 and sold at the latest median of £285,000 gained +46.2% in cash. Restate the 2014 price in 2026 money and it is worth £279,705, so the real gain is +1.9%. The first number is the one people quote; the second is the one that decided whether they were better off.
