British house prices rose at their slowest pace in six years in the three months to November, mortgage lender Halifax said on Friday. Annual house price growth slowed sharply to 0.3 percent from 1.5 percent in the three months to October. In November alone, house prices fell by a monthly 1.4 percent. Halifax Managing Director Russell Galley said the slowdown in annual price growth remained within the lender's forecast range for 2018 of zero to an increase of 3 percent. Property analysts say the main factor preventing prices from actually falling is a shortage of homes on the market although prices in London have fallen, according to some measures. Howard Archer, an economist with EY Item Club, said prices would probably slip modestly on a nationwide basis if Britain leaves the EU in March without a Brexit deal. Home-builder Berkeley Group also announced a 26 percent fall in profit and it warned about uncertainty in the short term as people put off house purchases ahead of Britain's exit from the EU.

Chancellor Philip Hammond could raise the small business rate relief (SBRR) threshold in next week's Budget. Reports suggest the Treasury is looking at increasing the threshold to £20,000. Although the move would cost £1.4bn in lost revenue, experts say it is vital as business rates are forecast to rise by £730m in April.

Interest rate will remain low for 20 years according to Ian McCafferty, a Bank of England policymaker, this is despite official borrowing costs rising gently in the coming years. Mr McCafferty, who is leaving the MPC at the end of the month, said structural changes in the global economy meant UK borrowers and savers should get used to interest rates being “significantly” below the 5% they averaged in the 10 years leading up to the financial crisis in 2008. #kickerfinance #finance #business #retail #highstreet #startup #expansion #commercialrealestate #property #commercial #business #office #propertymanagement #propertyinvesting #propertydevelopment #buytolet #growth #property #propertyloan #investor #investmentloans #propertydevelopment #londonproperty #newbuild #passiveincome #wealthgenerators #propertyagent #investmentproperties #wealth #assets #financialfreedom #investor #pension
