Is the UK about to see ‘biggest ever’ house price crash?

House prices rose in January for the fourth successive month, dampening fears of an impending property market crash.

The average price of a property in the UK last month increased by 1.3% – or £3,900 – to £291,029 compared to December, according to Halifax, and was up 2.5% year on year. Having previously fallen for six consecutive months, house prices have now risen for the last four months in a row.
