House prices are falling in many parts of the UK, but some homeowners will see their houses worth more now than a year ago

The property market has changed greatly over the last year.

While UK house prices have fallen on a whole, properties in some areas are now worth more.


The latest Zoopla House Price Index shared the 10 local regions in the UK with the biggest increase in house prices.

Many of these were in Scotland or the north of England.

The areas with the biggest drop in house prices were also shared, with the south and East of England being hit the hardest.

The latest report looked at prices in local regions in the 12 months leading to October 2023 and also shared the average house price in the areas.

Houses in areas where prices had risen the most were still often worth less than houses in areas where the average price had decreased.
