Good news for buyers

byTrevor Hames

Share:

After being pipped to the post by Oxford as the best university, there is another blow for Cambridge: its house price growth has stalled.

Growth in house prices in the city has decelerated at the fastest rate in the country, from 16pc year-on-year in March to just 6pc in August, according to Hometrack. This is due to a squeeze on affordability and dampened investor appetite.

Its index found that the average rate of house price growth across UK cities eased off to 8.2pc, led by a slowdown among southern cities, such as Bournemouth and Oxford. The quarterly growth rate was 1.9pc, the lowest for six months, as momentum stalled due to uncertainty after the referendum and the continuing impact of stamp duty changes.
