What June's house price rise means for you
For buyers, mortgage deals have eased from their spring highs; for sellers, prices are finally creeping up rather than slipping. The Lloyds index, the renamed Halifax measure, showed prices rose 0.2% in June to an average £299,330, the first rise in four months. Nationwide calls the market broadly flat, so this is stabilisation after the Iran-driven wobble, not a boom.
