Consumers are becoming more optimistic that house prices will rise over the coming year, research from The Building Societies Association suggests.
The BSA’s Property Tracker survey found that among 2,242 respondents the average prediction for house price changes over the next year was for a 1.4% rise, a massive climb down from the 7.1% fall forecast in June last year.
Some 59% of those polled agreed or tended to agree that now is a good time to buy, significantly up from the 27% recorded at the same time last year.
