House prices fell for the third time in four months, Halifax figures show
HOUSE prices in the UK fell for the third time in four months in October, according to new figures.
The Halifax House Price Index showed the average cost of a property dropped by 0.4 percent for the month.
It was the sharpest fall since February 2021, the lender said, and took the average house price to a five-month low, of £292,598.
Kim Kinnaird, director of Halifax Mortgages, said: “While the pace of annual growth also continued to ease, to +8.3% compared to +9.8% in September, average prices remain near record highs.
“Though the recent period of rapid house price inflation may now be at an end, it’s important to keep this is context, with average property prices rising more than £22,000 in the past 12 months, and by almost £60,000 (+25.7%) over the last three years, which is significant.
“While a post-pandemic slowdown was expected, there’s no doubt the housing market received a significant shock as a result of the mini-budget which saw a sudden acceleration in mortgage rate increases.
“While it is likely that those rates have peaked for now – following the reversal of previously announced fiscal measures – it appears that recent events have encouraged those with existing mortgages to look at their options, and some would-be homebuyers to take a pause.
“Understandably we have also seen consumer caution grow, as industry data shows mortgage approvals and demand for borrowing declining. The rising cost of living coupled with already stretched mortgage affordability is expected to continue to weigh on activity levels.”
She said the upcoming Autumn Statement could also point to a ‘slower period for house prices’.
“While certain longer-term, structural market factors which support higher house prices – like the shortage of available properties for sale – are likely to remain, how significantly prices might ultimately adjust will also be determined by the performance of the labour market,” she added.
“Currently joblessness remains historically low, but with growing expectations of the UK entering a recession, unemployment is expected to rise. While it may not spike to the same extent as seen in previous downturns, history tells us that how this picture develops in the coming months will be a key determinant of house price performance into next year and beyond.”
