UK House Prices See First Annual Decline Since 2023
UK house prices have recorded their first annual decline in almost three years, falling 0.4% year-on-year in August. The average property price was £298,468.
According to the report, London and the south-east experienced the steepest falls. The decline has been attributed to higher mortgage rates and affordability constraints affecting the market.
This development is relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring market trends, particularly in regions with the most significant price drops.
