Our experts answer your questions

Will property prices keep falling in 2024?
It depends where in the country you live as the trends vary based on the overall affordability of homes and the level of house prices in each property market. The rate of falls will continue to slow and house prices are likely to broadly track sideways at current levels during 2024.
How do mortgage rates affect house prices?
When mortgage rates are higher, it makes borrowing money to buy a house more expensive. This reduces demand and usually means lower house price growth.
Average mortgage rates are currently between 4% and 5% and are likely to stay at this level for the foreseeable. Try our mortgage calculator to see how much you could borrow.
Does Zoopla have all sold house prices in the UK?
We get our sold house prices from HM Land Registry and Registers of Scotland each month, but it can take up to 6 months for sales to appear in our data. They also don't provide some property prices, such as the sale of a share or a transfer after a divorce. If we don’t have a sold house price, get an instant valuation instead.
Why are UK house prices so high?
The biggest house price growth in recent times came between 2020 and 2022, when low mortgage rates and then the pandemic boosted demand from buyers. 12 in 13 homes increased in value by an average of £19,000 in 2022.
In 2023, this rate of growth slowed down. 3 in 5 homeowners saw their homes hold their value or rise - by £7,800 on average.
