The 11 Liverpool areas where house prices are falling fastest, according to new data
Here are the neighbourhoods which have seen the biggest fall in average sale prices in the last year.
With mortgage rates under increasing strain, all eyes are on the property market to see whether house prices will continue to rise. And new figures pinpoint the neighbourhoods of England where average sale prices are increasing and falling the fastest.
The latest data from the UK House Price Index shows the average UK house price was £286,500 in April 2023, a slight rise from the previous month but £6,500 below the £293,000 all-time high recorded in September 2022.
The Office for National Statistics also divides England into thousands of smaller areas known as middle-layer super output areas. It has released new house price figures for each of these neighbourhoods for the calendar year 2022.
This allows us to pinpoint the suburbs, towns and villages which have seen house prices rise and fall the most since the previous year.
