UK house prices grow at slowest pace in two years as mortgage rates rise

UK house prices increased by 0.5% in October, the slowest rise in two years, as higher mortgage rates dampen demand. The modest gain follows a period of stagnation and reflects buyers' caution amid rising borrowing costs. Analysts note that the market may face further pressure if interest rates remain elevated, limiting price growth in the near term.
