Save you a click. House prices are not rising as much as they had. The horror.
Yes, I am getting poorer and mentally unstable more because of the UK. Should I be surprised by this? Oh, British people will say eat cake if you can’t eat bread. lol
> Individual wealth – measured by the value of assets like **property and stocks** – deteriorated by around £28,500, according to UBS bank.
> The average Brit had assets worth £95,500 in 2025, with the value of wealth deteriorating due to the pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine.
But if we use average house prices from the same article, house prices rose 26% since January 2020, and home ownership rate in the UK is ~65%.
If using FTSE 100 as a proxy, equities are up 47% since 2021.
So both property & the equities market (and therefore pensions) have significantly improved since the invasion of Ukraine.
What am I missing?
There’s been a massive slump in real house prices since the beginning of the decade. Since lots of people have wealth tied up in housing, there been a big fall in „wealth“.
Good news for buyers, bad news for older home owners who want to sell to fund their retirement.

‚The rich world‘, you can tell it’s Nick Ferrari who wrote this nonsense without even looking.
Drive wealth out the country, wealthy people stop buying homes. Demand falls. Prices fall.
Despite being a recent first house buyer i can only say…. it is about time !
Come to think of it, I’ve only seen a new Range Rover every 3 cars last week instead of every 2… I hope the rich are getting the help they need!
Where do you think all that Money Elon and Bezos got their mitts on came from?
That’s our money!
What’s caused the collapse?
# State spending
2000 340.80 bn
2025 1244.85 bn
400.5% increase
55% above inflation
That’ll happen when you anchor your gdp on housing inflation.
Not to worry, they are talking about the average person
Where as the 1%’ers wealth exploded over the same period
Now open your mouth and say „ah“ for that trickle
Can’t wait to see Labour blamed for this as well
oh no.. where can we donate something to help the rich?
I got a £50,000 inheritance about 10 years ago and just put it all into the mortgage.
While I have probably saved maybe £20,000 (??) on interest payments I do kick myself how much better that money would have done in the stock market.
Whenever house prices come up on this sub it always shows just how out of touch/young the average user is.
If you were 28 years old 10 years ago and bought a 2 bed flat in Aberdeen, you would have paid around £180,000.
Fast forward to today, you still owe £160,000 on a mortgage for a property which is now valued at £105,000. You cannot sell and have lost considerably on the largest investment you ever made.
It is far far worse for young people to see the market crashing then it is for people who purchased their first home 30 or 40 years ago.
I wonder whether the UK experienced a big economic event around the time of the pandemic, not experienced by other rich nations.
Perhaps something to do with cutting trading ties with the UK’s biggest trading partners.
