What house prices did last year

House prices have hit the headlines recently, with the market enjoying a strong few months of growth.

According to data provided by Halifax, house prices went up 4.1% between January 2019 and January 2020, with quarterly growth of 2.3%.

The Halifax House Price Index is the UK's longest running monthly house price series with data covering the whole country going back to January 1983.

Halifax have also said that “a number of important market indicators continue to show signs of improvement”, so their view is that we could look forward to continued growth within the UK housing market this year.
