Housing market sees sluggish start to 2019

House prices saw their steepest monthly decline since April last month, as the property market continues to suffer from Brexit uncertainty. House prices dropped by 2.9% in January, following a 2.5% increase in December, leaving national average prices at £233,691, according to the latest figures from Halifax. The mortgage lender added that price growth was likely to “remain subdued in the near term”.
