PROPERTY PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE
HALIFAX has revealed that UK property prices are rising at their fastest rate since May 2000.
Releasing their monthly survey the mortgage bank showed the price of the average home rose 1.6 per cent in June, leaving them 9.7 per cent higher than over the past 12 months.
With these latest property price figures it is believed that the Bank of England are unlikely to cut interest rates at its monthly two-day meeting beginning on Wednesday.
Halifax also revealed that the average property price had risen by five per cent in the April-June quarter and although prospects remained good, they warned that slower economic growth would cause inflation to ease. In addition to price rises, mortgage borrowing is also growing at its fastest pace on record, according to the latest Bank of England figures.
Halifax’s latest statistics follow Tuesday’s Nationwide figures, whose measure of house prices showed a 1.9 per cent rise in June to stand 9.3 per cent higher than a year earlier.
