The housing market was flat in June as signs emerge that the UK jobs market may be “softening”, one of Britain’s biggest mortgage lenders has said.
The average price for a house in the UK was £296,665 in June, according to Halifax, compared with £296,782 in May. It comes after a slight drop of 0.3% in May, although the average house price was still about 2.5% higher in June compared with a year earlier.
