Asking prices for homes have soared to a new high, property website Rightmove reports today.

Nearly two-thirds of landlords are planning a rent freeze in 2013, showing signs that rents are reaching their limits of affordability, a study said today.

House sellers dropped their asking prices by 2.6% this month, property website Rightmove says today.

House sellers hiked their asking prices by more than £8,000 in October in the biggest jump seen in eight months, Rightmove said today.

House sellers dropped asking prices by the biggest percentage recorded for August as would-be buyers became engrossed in the Olympics.

Asking prices for homes have shown their biggest July fall for four years, according to a study.

The proportion of people planning to take their first step on the property ladder in the coming months has risen to its highest level in at least two-and-a-half years, despite the "minefield" of difficulties they face, a study suggests today.

The housing market has seen a "surprisingly strong" bounce after sellers upped their asking prices by the highest monthly jump for a decade.

The proportion of first-time buyers is set to rise slightly this year, but they could face a narrower choice of properties due to a lack of first-time sellers, a study suggests.

House asking prices have risen to their highest level for nearly three years, with some home owners demanding unrealistic amounts, according to a report released today.
