Recent data from HM Land Registry indicated that typical British home values increased by £5,000 in the year to June, representing a 2% rise year-on-year. However, this growth rate was slower compared to April and May. The property industry anticipates a market rebound in September. Mortgage rates have seen an increase due to inflation, impacting borrowing costs for new buyers and those remortgaging.
