London property slump drags back UK house price growth Stalling house prices, slowing inflation and Brexit will deter interest rate rise – analysts

London house prices slipped in October, dragging the growth in average property prices to its lowest level since July 2013. The slump in the capital, which began after the Brexit vote in 2016 and reached a fall of 1.7% for the year to October 2018, pulled down the average increase across the UK to 2.7%, down from 3% in September, according to official data. A slowdown in growth across the south-east and the east of England also put the brakes on national price rises, leaving the average cost of a home in England at £248,000.
The decline in property inflation was mirrored on the high street after annual inflation figures showed the consumer prices index (CPI) for November had nudged lower to 2.3% from 2.4% in the previous month.
Analysts said slowing inflation and property prices, combined with the uncertainty about the government’s Brexit plans, meant the Bank of England would suppress its urge to raise interest rates at a meeting on Thursday and wait until at least the middle of next year.
Mike Jakeman, a senior economist at PwC, said: “Inflation returning towards the Bank of England’s 2% target is good news for workers, who are receiving the dual benefit of accelerating wages and slowing inflation, pushing up their income growth in real terms.
