UK house prices decreased by 2.4% in April 2012, a 0.5% decrease since April 2011. Despite the slight improvement in the underlying trend in recent months, house prices continue to lack real direction. The ending of the stamp duty holiday for first-time buyers in late March appears to have boosted home sales early this year as buyers strove to beat the deadline, and has probably contributed to the volatility in house prices in the last few months.
