Calls for the Bank of England to cut interest rates are growing louder by the day. Inflation is back down to normal levels, and would-be homeowners are crying out for the same to happen to mortgages.
House prices soared to vertiginous heights in 2022, due to a combination of high post-pandemic demand and short supply. But the market soon cooled, as the Bank Rate was ratcheted up to a 16-year record of 5.25pc.
Yet the crash that was feared in 2023 failed to materialise, with the average sale price in England and Wales falling only slightly. Buyer confidence is now growing, in anticipation of cheaper borrowing.
Behind this national picture, however, the movement of house prices varies widely between regions, and even local areas next door to each other.
