UK house prices quietly pushed past £300k again. 🏠 The latest Halifax House Price Index shows average UK property prices rose 0.3% in February, following a 0.8% increase in January. That brings the average UK home to £301,151, with annual growth now at +1.3%, the strongest level in the past four months. In simple terms, the market is still moving 👉🏼 just at a steadier pace than we saw during the boom years. Affordability is still tight and borrowing costs remain higher than people were used to a few years ago. But easing rates and wage growth are slowly helping confidence come back into the market. We’re also still seeing a clear regional split, with northern areas showing stronger growth than parts of the South. For investors, the big takeaway hasn’t really changed: 📝 This is a selective market, not a frozen one. The right deals are still moving. As always, the real opportunities tend to come from understanding the local market rather than just the national headlines.
