UK House Prices Defy Economic Downturn But for How Long? The latest data on UK house prices shows a 2% increase in June, bucking the trend of economic uncertainty that has plagued the country.
This uptick may seem like a welcome respite from the gloom casting a shadow over the nation's economy, but it's unlikely to be more than a brief reprieve.
London and the South East are driving this increase, with an average price rise of £2,000 per property.
