Newsflash – Guernsey Annual Residential Property Stock Report 2025 released

The States of Guernsey has today released the 2025 Annual Residential Property Stock Report, providing a comprehensive snapshot of Guernsey’s domestic property landscape. The F&F LLP Property Team has reviewed the findings in full and prepared its initial commentary, drawing out the key themes that will matter most to homeowners, prospective buyers, and investors planning ahead for 2026.

The report highlights a total of 27,799 domestic property units at the end of 2025, including 1,607 Open Market properties (5.8%), offering valuable insight into supply, ownership trends, and evolving market dynamics.

During the year, the housing stock saw modest growth, with 127 new units created and 65 removed, resulting in a net increase of 62 units. Houses and bungalows continue to dominate the market, accounting for 74.5% of all units, while apartments make up 24.6%. Notably, three-bedroom properties remain the most common, representing nearly a third (31.5%) of all homes.

Ownership patterns show that 61.2% of properties are owner-occupied, with a further 26.3% privately rented. Affordable housing accounts for a smaller but important segment, including 8.6% social rented and 1.0% intermediate (partially owned) units. The majority of properties (86.8%) are owned by residents living in Guernsey, with only a small proportion held by off-island owners.

Geographically, housing remains heavily concentrated in St Peter Port, which contains 32.7% of all domestic units and has by far the highest density at 1,418 units per square kilometre, more than double that of any other parish.

Market activity also saw a notable shift, with 3.8% of Local Market properties transacted in 2025. While this marks an increase from 2024 (2.8%), it remains below the peak levels recorded in 2021 (4.6%), indicating a market that is active but stabilising.

Overall, the report reflects a stable and steadily growing property market in Guernsey, characterised by modest supply increases, strong levels of owner occupation, and signs of gradually recovering market activity. To view the full report, visit: Guernsey Annual Residential Property Stock Report
