–Halifax Sees Prices Broadly Unchanged Over 2010 Overall

LONDON (MNI) – UK house prices fell by 0.6% last month from the
previous month, following a similar decline in May, according to the
latest Halifax house price survey.

Prices over the April-June quarter were little changed from the
previous three months, the Halifax said, while prices rose 6.3% in the 3
months to June compared with the same 3 months a year ago.

The survey findings are significantly at odds with those issued by
the Nationwide – the UK’s other main house price indicator, which
has shown a firmer, albeit slower, trend in prices over recent months.
