House Prices Fall £45 Per Day

Research by property valuation website Zoopla.co.uk has found a ’staggering’ total of £300bn has been wiped off British homes since January 1.

The biggest falls are being seen in Merioneth in North Wales where prices are tumbling £83 a day.

The average full-time worker in Britain earns £23,750 a year - equal to a take-home pay of only £69.65 a day. After tax and deductions, this is less than the price of the property fall per day.

The biggest loser in Scotland is Berwickshire, with prices down £77 a day whilst in England, Berkshire suffered £76 a day.

At the same time, five regions saw house prices rise - Windsor in Berkshire, Banstead and Godalming in Surrey, and Peterhead and Aberdeen in Aberdeenshire.

The Halifax house price report shows prices falling at faster than any other time since records began 25 years ago, bringing prices down nearly 13% over the past year.

Consultancy Capital Economics predicts a 35% fall by 2011 from last year’s peak.
