FIRST TIMERS FEEL LITTLE PRICE JOY
House price affordability continues to
be a problem for first-time buyers,
despite prices rising at the slowest
rate in nearly a decade.
It is also despite wage inflation being
nearly twice that of house prices.
Nationwide's August house price index
puts annual house price inflation at
2.3%, the lowest since May 1996. It
believes this gap between prices and
wages will take time to narrow further.
