Halifax: Property prices are down

Mortgage lender Halifax has recorded another 2.4 per cent slump in house prices in May.

The figures mean prices last month were 3.8 per cent lower year-on-year.

Low-cost housebuilder Bellway reiterated a depressed property market with reports of a higher than average drop in annual sales.

In all, the company expects to shift 10 to 15 per cent fewer homes by the end of July than it did in the same 12-month period in 2006 to 2007, with the Midlands, Yorkshire and the north-west among regions causing particular concern.

Bellway commented: "The restricted mortgage supply, combined with a sapping of consumer confidence, is leading to further market weakness."

Earlier this week calls for a cut in interest rates to boost property market spending were unanswered as the Bank of England held steady at 5 per cent.ADNFCR-323-ID-18626390-ADNFCR
