Britain’s property management sector is set to return to growth this year with industry revenues forecast to climb to almost £33 billion following a sharp downturn in 2024.
New analysis by Adiuvo, a provider of 24/7 property management services, shows the industry’s combined turnover is expected to rise 2.5% to £32.95 billion in 2025.
The increase follows a 5.6% contraction last year, when revenue fell to £32.16 billion.
Despite recent volatility, the market has expanded by 16.3% over the past decade and is projected to continue growing steadily.
STABALISING DEMAND
Revenue is forecast to reach £33.47 billion in 2026 and £33.98 billion in 2027, representing annual increases of 1.6% and 1.5% respectively.
Colin Stokes, founder and managing director of Adiuvo, says: “While the property management sector has experienced periods of volatility in recent years, including a notable dip in mid-pandemic 2021, the current trajectory suggests a steady return to growth.
“This upward trend reflects both stabilising demand and increasing emphasis on professional, round-the-clock management of residential and commercial properties.”
AROUND-THE-CLOCK RESPONSE
And he adds: “This analysis highlights not only the scale of the opportunity in the years ahead, but also the importance of innovation and responsiveness in meeting the changing needs of landlords, tenants and property owners across the UK.
“As the market grows, so do expectations. There is increasing demand for around-the-clock responsiveness, robust infrastructure and scalable solutions that can adapt to changing legislation, technology and client needs.”
The rebound comes as investors and developers place renewed focus on efficiency and compliance in the property sector, with management firms under pressure to deliver both technological innovation and improved customer service at scale.
