Ranked: Asking Vs sold prices around the country

Every region and market sector saw asking prices rise to a record high last month, reports Rightmove; it's the first "full house" since 2007.

Runaway property price growth in the regions is likely to soften from next year, predicts Savills, while Prime Central London prices are set for a sharp upwards bounce once international travel resumes.

"The prime residential sector is likely to remain strong through the rest of the year," says Savills in its latest World Cities Index.
