Fall in house prices of 9%
HOUSE prices will fall 9% by the autumn of 2024, the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast. It tipped average interest rates on outstanding mortgages to peak at 5% in mid-2024, the highest level since the 2008 crash. Stamp duty cuts for firsttime buyers will only stay in place until March 2025, blighting chances of getting on the property ladder.
