House price growth to slow in 2002
The property market is set to experience a slip in demand during 2002 according to leading UK mortgage lender Nationwide and a twice-yearly survey by the CBI and property advisers GVA Grimley.
The Nationwide review of 2001 revealed that UK house prices grew significantly during 2001 despite the global economic slowdown.
The review also showed that the price of the average UK home jumped by nearly 14 per cent over the year as a whole, an increase of just under two per cent in December alone.
However, the property market is expected to cool this year with house price inflation dropping to just six per cent, and rising unemployment is expected to dent consumer confidence in the first half of next year, reducing their willingness to borrow.
