More growth for prime country house prices, but the pace is easing

Prime country house prices increased by 0.9% between January and March, says Knight Frank, taking the rate of annual price growth down from December's +3.4% to a more modest +2.

Prime country house prices nosed up by 0.7% in the third quarter of 2015, taking annual price growth to +2.7%. Annual price growth stands up from +2.

The long-term outlook for the prime country market is definitely positive, says Knight Frank, but the election result "is unlikely to lead to significant price growth."
