THE average price of a UK home hit a new record in January, continuing an upward trend that is in part being driven by a supply-demand imbalance. The 0.3 per cent increase in values lifted the average to £300,169 (S$534,185), Acadata and LSL said in a report on Monday.
Annual growth was 3.1 per cent, and prices are now double what they were in 2002.
