The Latest Rightmove House Price Index was released to the media this morning
Price record for larger homes as buyers compete for space and the price of property coming to market up 0.2% this month, just £269 below the record set in July
The trend of up-sizing to a larger home has continued at pace over the past month, leading to record asking prices in the second-stepper sector, made up of three- or four-bedroom homes.
