Homes For Sale In London England

Modest house price rise seen in England, Wales

LONDON: Asking prices for houses in England and Wales are likely to rise overall this year, British property website Rightmove forecast on Monday, scaling back earlier predictions for a steep fall in prices for the second half of the year.

Rightmove, which says its website is used to market almost 90% of homes for sale, predicted that house prices would finish the year with an annual gain of 2%, in contrast to its December forecast for a 2%-5% fall.

Rightmove said asking prices rose 0.6% in June after a 1.3% rise in May, reaching an average of 240,394, their highest level since an all-time peak of 242,500 struck in May 2008.

Prices are 8.1% higher than at the start of the year. Rightmove said most of this gain was seasonal, but that a stronger labour market and fewer repossessions meant prices would probably fall less in the second half of 2011 than they did in late 2010.

“While we expect new sellers to have to drop their prices over the remainder of the year, we now believe that they will end 2011 slightly higher than they began it,” said.

Britain's property market activity has been extremely sluggish since the start of the financial crisis, with banks reluctant to lend to homebuyers who lack a big deposit, and many prospective purchasers worried they could lose their job.

Official figures from the government Land Registry show that average prices for completed property transactions were 1.3% down on a year ago in April. Rightmove said June asking prices were 1.1% up on the year.
