UK House Price Index Scotland and Fife: October 2023 (Watch/Listen)

 

PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/UK-House-Price-Index-Scotland-and-Fife-October-2023-e2dinb6

 

Economic statement

Average house prices in Scotland increased by 0.2% (provisional estimate) in the 12 months to October 2023. This was down from 0.8% (revised estimate) in the 12 months to September 2023 and was faster than the average UK house price annual inflation of negative 1.2% (provisional estimate) in the 12 months to October 2023.

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in Scotland decreased by 0.5% between September 2023 and October 2023, compared with an increase of 0.1% during the same period 12 months ago. On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in Scotland decreased by 0.3% between September 2023 and October 2023.

Comparing the provisional UK HPI volume estimate for August 2022 with the provisional UK HPI volume estimate for August 2023, the volume of transactions decreased by 11.2% in Scotland and by 16.2% in the UK.

In Scotland, detached houses showed the highest annual percentage change out of all property types, increasing by 2.0% in the 12 months to October 2023 to £350,000. Flats and Maisonettes showed the lowest annual percentage change, which decreased by 1.8% in the 12 months to October 2023 to an average price of £128,000.

The highest annual percentage change was in Clackmannanshire, where average house prices increased by 11.2% in the 12 months to October 2023 to £180,000. The lowest annual percentage change was in West Lothian, where average house prices decreased by 4.5% in the 12 months to October 2023 to £203,000.

As with other indicators in the housing market, which typically fluctuate from month to month, it is important not to put too much weight on one month’s set of house price data.

ZOOPLA UK Rental Market Report – December 2023

 

Executive summary

 

  • The UK is past peak rental growth. We expect annual UK rental growth to halve over 2024 to 5%, the lowest growth since 2021.

 

  • London will lead the slowdown with rents expected to increase by just 2% over 2024 as affordability pressures impact demand.

 

  • Demand is weakening slowly off a high base, down 11% year on year, but still a third higher than the 5-year average.

 

  • There are signs asking rents have overshot in some markets, evidence of growing resistance to higher rents.

 

  • The supply-demand imbalance in rented housing is not going to disappear in 2024 but the market will become more into balanced.

 

  • Rents in regional markets are set to out-perform where affordability is less of a constraint on rental growth.
