What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

In September, the average asking price for a home across Britain rose by 0.7 per cent, or £2,441, reaching £367,440. This monthly increase exceeded the decade-long average September rise of 0.5 per cent. Meanwhile, shares in London-listed housebuilders rose sharply following the government's announcement of a 'Your First Home' scheme. This scheme offers first-time buyers a 20 per cent equity loan for new build properties.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The housing market is reacting to a mix of policy intervention and external pressures. The government scheme is providing a boost to housebuilder shares and easing market slowdowns. However, despite the price increase, buyer affordability remains stretched, and average fixed mortgage rates continue to rise due to increases in swap rates.

Central banks are currently meeting to discuss interest rates as global oil prices are influenced by the ongoing conflict in Iran and peace talks between the US and Iranian negotiators.
