Price Pressure – The Cities with the Lowest and Highest Rents
26th September 2024
- House prices edged up 0.3% in August, with annual growth rising to 4.3%, the fastest pace since late 2022. However, this is partly due to the comparison with weaker growth this time last year.
- Buyer confidence has been boosted since the Bank of England rate cut at the beginning of August and mortgage rates trending downwards. 37% of property professionals expect sales prices to increase in the next 3 months, with 1.4% house price change now predicted through 2024, up from -2.2% this time last year.
- However price growth is likely to remain constrained by affordability, which remains a significant challenge for many potential buyers.
