UK property asking prices fell for the second month in succession as the market was hit by over-supply and subdued activity in the summer holidays.
The research by property website Rightmove, found sellers trim asking prices slip by 1.7% during the month to August 7. This sent the average asking value down £4,091 to £232,241.
This comes after RICS last week reported a house price fall for the first time this year. However, the Rightmove fall is at odds with Halifax’s contradicting report that house prices were up 0.6% in July
Rightmove found that there has been a surge in sellers with the imbalance in supply and demand compounded as many house hunters take summer holidays.
