The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is changing again in 2025. If you live in or near London, these updates could affect your daily life, travel, and even property value. At JSEstateAgents, we’re here to break down what you need to know — in simple terms.
What is ULEZ?
ULEZ stands for Ultra Low Emission Zone. It’s a part of London where vehicles must meet strict emissions rules. If your car or van does not meet the standard, you have to pay a daily charge to drive in the zone.
What’s changing in 2025?
From August 2025, the ULEZ rules will become stricter:
- More areas around Greater London will be included.
- Older petrol and diesel vehicles will be charged more often.
- Motorcycles and vans will also face tighter rules.
The goal is to reduce air pollution and help make London cleaner and healthier for everyone.
Will it affect me?
Yes, if you drive in or near London and your vehicle does not meet the latest standards. Even if you don’t drive, you may notice changes in:
- Local traffic levels
- Public transport demand
- Property prices in newly included ULEZ zones
How do I check if my vehicle is affected?
You can use the official TfL vehicle checker to see if your car, van, or bike is compliant with ULEZ rules for 2025.
ULEZ and Property
Many buyers are now thinking about ULEZ when moving. Areas just outside the new zone may become more attractive for drivers who want to avoid daily charges. If you’re selling or letting a property near the ULEZ boundary, this could affect demand and value.
Top Tips from JSEstateAgents
- Check if your home is inside the new ULEZ zone.
- Consider the cost of driving if you're planning to move.
- Look at public transport links in your area — these may become more popular.
