0826 GMT - Although U.K. house prices fell 0.6% month-on-month in December, they rose 0.3% in 2025, a positive given the macroeconomic and budget uncertainty that dominated the year, RBC Capital Markets says. According to the Halifax house price index, price growth was strongest in Northern Ireland and Scotland, with prices in London falling by 1.3% in 2025. "With wages still rising and mortgage rates expected to fall in 2026 we expect house price growth to be higher in 2026 than in 2025," analyst Anthony Codling and Oliver Dyson say in a note.
