UK house prices hit record high - Halifax

 
Average selling prices for UK properties hit a record high in September according to mortgage lender Halifax, with property portal Rightmove reporting asking prices still on the rise.

A rise of 7.3% over the last 12 months is the headline figure, with mortgage applications at the highest in 12 years.
​.
​The average UK house price is now approaching £250,000 after September saw a third consecutive month of substantial gains. The annual rate of change will naturally draw attention, with the increase of 7.3% the strongest since mid-2016. Context is important with the annual comparison, however, as September 2019 saw political uncertainty weigh on the market.

​Few would dispute that the performance of the housing market has been extremely strong since lockdown restrictions began to ease in May. Across the last three months, we have received more mortgage applications from both first time buyers and homemovers than anytime since 2008. 

​Russell Galley, Managing Director, Halifax
Property portal Rightmove tells a similar story. New properties coming to market in September were priced 5% higher than a year ago, suggesting that the current boom may be maintained, at least in the short term.

Whilst prices are up across the board, it is the 'top of the ladder' - four bedroom detached and larger - which is seeing the biggest gains. At an average price of £575,000, these are the properties that see the largest savings under England's Stamp Duty holiday.
​.
Previous records are tumbling in this extraordinary market, and there are still some legs left in the upwards march of property prices. We predict that the annual rate of growth will peak by December at around 7% higher than a year ago.

Tim Bannister, Director, Rigtmove

Properties in the Midlands and northern England continue to outperform the south, with gains ranging between 6.3% and 7.7%.
