UK average house prices have risen by over 160% in real terms since the middle of 1996. Home ownership remains around its lowest level for a generation. This implies that the current policy focus on boosting supply does not offer a solution to the housing crisis and a fundamental rethink is badly. Rightmove has predicted that the average price of houses in the UK will rise by 5 per cent in the year 2022. According to Halifax, the average price of houses in the UK has risen by 3.4 per cent from September to November, which is supposed to be the highest rise the UK market has seen in one quarter since 2006..
