UK house prices fell by 3.2% in December, as seasonal factors and the full roll-out of home information packs (Hips) took their toll on an already slowing market, property website Rightmove claimed today.
The website's latest survey of asking prices showed a dramatic fall from an average of £239,986 in mid-November to £232,396 this month.

Home Information Packs have become the latest handy weapon for house buyers looking to knock thousands of pounds off asking prices.
According to a survey of 1,557 people by Hyder Consulting Environment and Home Survey, nearly half of all buyers said that they are ready to use the energy report in the HIP to demand a discount on the asking price. And 14 per cent of those surveyed said a poor energy report would make them think twice about buying in the first place.
