GLOBAL ANALYSIS
See MoreThe UK housing market is fracturing along regional lines in ways that the national average figure entirely obscures. The North West recorded annual asking price growth of 1.9 percent in August 2026 while London fell 3.1 percent, the capital’s largest annual August decline on record.
