Real Estate in UK
London - Arab Today

The average price of a UK home hit a new record in January, continuing an upward trend that’s in part being driven by a supply-demand imbalance.

The 0.3 per cent increase in values lifted the average to 300,169 pounds ($374,000), Acadata and LSL said in a report on Monday. Annual growth was 3.1 per cent, and prices are now double what they were in 2002. 

Over 2016, London was one of the worst performers among 10 regions analysed, partly due to weakness in prime locations because of Brexit and tax changes. Weakness in the city’s best neighbourhoods was also seen this month in a report from Knight Frank, which showed double digit-price declines in Chelsea and Kensington over the past year.

While price growth nationally is forecast to cool this year, the continued appreciation is making it harder for first-time buyers. The government published new plans last week aimed at boosting supply and helping young people.

Separately on Monday, Visa said its consumer index showed annual spending growth slowed to a five-month low of 0.4 per cent in January after a "bumper” 2.5 per cent increase in December. While clothing and footwear fell the most in almost five years, there was strong growth in spending at hotels and restaurants.

Consumer demand could come under pressure this year from inflation, which is forecast to accelerate toward 3 per cent. Price growth probably picked up to 1.9 per cent in January from 1.6 per cent, economists said before a report on Tuesday.
