Australian house prices continued to push higher in early August, led yet again by Melbourne.

Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide have all recorded a lift in home values in the past week amid a rise in the number of homes sold at auction.

The economies of both Manchester and Leeds have grown faster than London since 2014.

House prices are predicted to grow by around two per cent across 2017, according to a report that showed that property values continued to head upwards in July.

House price growth across the UK’s biggest cities is set to be stronger this year than previously predicted, according to an index.
