Vibrant Scottish town with some of UK's cheapest houses is packed with 'charming' streets
This town in East Ayrshire, Scotland, has been named one of the most affordable places to live in the UK, with locals praising its vibrant shopping scene and friendly atmosphere An historic town in East Ayrshire has been crowned one of the UK's most affordable places to live, with locals praising its bustling shopping scene and welcoming atmosphere. Property website Rightmove has ranked Kilmarnock as Scotland's top spot for first-time buyers, offering average house prices significantly below the national average. Rightmove reports that homes in Kilmarnock have sold for an average of £154,688 over the past year. Flats have been snapped up for an average of £75,868, while semi-detached properties have commanded £161,391 and terraced houses £115,793. Prices have risen by seven per cent compared to 2024 and are four per cent higher than the 2022 peak. This news comes after images show the cheapest seaside spot in England is full of abandoned £40k homes 'nobody wants'. Home to over 47,000 people, Kilmarnock's housing costs are more than five times lower than London, where the average flat will set you back a whopping £590,543. The town's blend of cultural heritage, green spaces and retail options has made it a popular choice for homebuyers. Kilmarnock is home to a wealth of cultural landmarks, including Scotland's largest Burns Monument, the Dick Institute and the Palace Theatre. The town centre boasts a range of independent shops as well as popular high street brands, reports the Daily Record. The tourism board Visit Scotland has described Bank Street as: "a charming cobbled street in the historic core, with the elegant John Finnie Street boasting one of the best examples of provincial Victorian architecture in Scotland." The board also spotlighted Dean Castle and Country Park as "a fantastic day out for all the family" and commended the Burns Monument Centre's picturesque location in Kay Park. For many locals, the town's charm and easy access are its main attractions. Andrew Reith, 41, who runs Zenith Coins and has been working in Kilmarnock for five years, said: "The town has some nice parks, and there are a few spots for public entertainment. The shopping area is quite popular, and both tourists and locals enjoy wandering around it. "What I feel is that the town could benefit from a couple of large organisations, such as factories, to create more job opportunities for people living in the area." However, not everyone shares this positive view. One local told The Express: "Many people in Kilmarnock rely on Government benefits and lack ambition and zeal to work. "Most people are looking to send their children to the schools in Troon which is around 15 to 20 minutes away from Kilmarnock and is home to some of the most affluent people in the town." While some streets offer homes priced between £75,000 and £84,000, others feature properties worth £500,000. Tracey Oakley, a property adviser with Donald Ross Residential, noted: "Kilmarnock is a huge area and it would not be right to say that the houses are cheap [everywhere] here. The town is not very far from Glasgow and has a lovely shopping centre. "The properties which are put on the market are being sold in just two to six weeks, showing its popularity among the buyers." East Ayrshire Council says the town's energy is being enhanced by regeneration initiatives. David McDowall, head of economic growth, said: "We are happy to see Kilmarnock is featuring as one of the more economical places to live. "Over the past 15 years, our Regeneration and Business Support teams have attracted investment to enable the redevelopment of the town new life into the town's conservation area." He added that Kilmarnock has "weathered the storm of closures of the mass industries such as whisky bottling, shoe making, carpet making, textiles and heavy engineering" and is now "experiencing a resurgence" with new small and medium enterprises.

UK homeowners issued warning as property prices plummet over summer
A new report from a property website shares that UK house prices have fallen by 1.3%, or £4,969, month-on-month in August to stand at a total of £368,740, following huge falls in June and July The average price tag on a home has plummeted by over £10,000 throughout the summer, with a nearly £5,000 month-on-month drop in August alone, according to a property website. Across Britain, the average price of a home coming to market decreased by 1.3%, or £4,969, month-on-month in August to stand at £368,740, according to Rightmove. August's price drop aligns with the average for this month observed over the past decade, following larger-than-usual declines in June and July, the report added. It comes after thousands of Brits to get shock letter from HMRC after drastic new tax rule comes into force. The average new seller asking price for a home has now fallen by just over £10,000 (£10,777) this summer, the website revealed. In May, the average price tag on a home was £379,517, reports the Evening Standard. Rightmove described a "two-speed market" with savvy summer sellers pricing realistically to attract buyers, while others are pricing properties too high. Just over a third (34%) of properties for sale have reduced prices, and since 2012, the figure has only been higher at this time of year, in 2023, Rightmove stated. The overall average time to find a buyer is now 62 days, however it takes an average of 32 days to find a buyer if a property does not need a price reduction, versus 99 days if it does, according to the website's analysis. It reported that the number of sale s being agreed is 8% ahead of this time last year as serious buyers and sellers secure deals. The number of homes for sale is 10% up compared with this time last year. Colleen Babcock, a property expert at Rightmove, stated: "Savvy summer sellers have read the room and are coming to market with even more competitive pricing than usual to really stand out and attract serious and active buyers. She added: "Astute buyers are now benefiting from new seller asking prices which average at an enticing £10,000 cheaper than three months ago. Buyers have the upper hand in this high-supply market, so a tempting price is vital to agree a sale. "The strategy is working, with the number of sales agreed in the full month of July being the best at this time of year since 2020," said Babcock, explaining that, "at that time, the market had recently reopened after the first pandemic lockdown, and generous stamp duty reductions had just been announced. "However, the high number of price reductions we're seeing is an indicator that some sellers are still coming to market with too high a price and then reducing it to become competitive." The recent base rate cut by the Bank of England is expected to provide another confidence boost for the market over the remaining months of the year, according to Rightmove. Ms Babcock went further, saying: "Strong summer property sales as well as a stable level of new buyer demand bode well for the next couple of months. We usually see a busier autumn compared to the summer as the new school year starts and more focus returns to moving home". "Autumn sellers may also be hoping to be in a new home by Christmas, but they would need to beat the average time to find a buyer and complete a home sale". Rightmove's Mortgages Expert, Matt Smith, said: "The markets are currently forecasting one more (Bank of England base rate) cut before the end of the year. "Lenders have moved their rates downwards to remain competitive, but there doesn't look like much room for too many further reductions if current market forecasts play out. "We could potentially see some lenders squeeze their margin to gain a competitive advantage, but I don't think this would play out across the market and would likely target specific segments of movers." Steve Beercock, Executive Director at Beercocks in Yorkshire and the Humber, observed: "Locally in Yorkshire and the Humber, we have seen particular strength in the mid to high-end market, with healthy levels of activity also coming from buy-to-let investors." Antony Roberts's Head of Sales in London, Amy Reynolds, remarked: "What's surprised me most is the first-time buyer flat market in our area. "It slowed after the stamp duty holiday ended but has now rebounded strongly. That said, there are still some well-priced homes sitting unsold, often because buyers are holding back." She continued: "Some buyers may be waiting to see if the price drops, but we'll soon be out of the traditionally quieter summer period and heading into the busier autumn. "Those who hold back may see the property they like snapped up by someone else, so it's always worth an inquiry to gauge the seller's position." Mary-Lou Press from the National Association of Estate Agents Propertymark has observed a buoyant market despite broader economic concerns. She stated: "Despite recent changes regarding stamp duty, and the fact that there is still so much economic uncertainty, it is extremely positive to witness an uplift in sales being agreed alongside an increase in properties coming to the market." She also highlighted the link between the housing market and overall consumer confidence, noting the beneficial impact of recent base rate cuts: "The performance of the property sector is a strong indicator of consumer confidence, and it has been reassuring to see base rate cuts across the past few months that have helped to create greater levels of affordability."

Stocks and oil rise before Zelenskyy-Trump meeting in Washington, UK house prices fall in August
Update: Date: 2025-08-18T06:56:16.000Z Title: Colleen Babcock Content: Rightmove's monthly survey showed that 34% of UK homes are now seeing a reduction in price during marketing. In data that goes back to 2012, this figure has only been higher at this time of year in 2023, and a two-speed market is becoming more evident. The overall average time to find a buyer is 62 days, with the high number of homes for sale allowing buyers the time to make their choice and negotiate. The Bank of England's third interest rate cut this year, which came on 7 August, is likely to be another boost of confidence for the market over the remaining months of the year, the property website said. , property expert at Rightmove, said: Buyers have the upper hand in this high-supply market, so a tempting price is vital to agree a sale.

Update: Date: 2025-08-18T06:51:26.000Z Title: Introduction: Stocks and oil rise before Ukraine meeting in Washington, UK house prices fall in August Content: Good morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of business, the financial markets and the world economy. Financial markets are focused on meetings at the Oval Office in Washington between Donald Trump and European leaders including Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. After meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, Trump has put pressure on the Ukrainian president to agree to a quick settlement, saying he could end the war 'almost immediately' if he wanted to. The US president also ruled out allowing Ukraine to join Nato or retake Russian-occupied Crimea as part of negotiations with Moscow. Brent crude, the global benchmark for oil, has gained 0.5% to $66.16 a barrel while gold ahs risen by 0.4% to $3,348 an ounce. Asian shares have got off to a good start to the week and European and US futures are also up, after Wall Street stocks traded near record highs last week on expectations of an interest rate cut at the Federal Reserve's September meeting, perhaps even a half-point reduction under political pressure from the White House. Attention now turns to Fed chair Jerome Powell's appearance at the Jackson Hole symposium this week, starting on Thursday. Last week's inflation data were mixed, with the consumer prices index showing limited price pressures while the producer prices index surprised higher. In Europe, stock markets extended gains last week to their highest levels since March, before Trump's tariff announcements. The Shanghai exchange rose by nearly 0.7% towards a 10-year high, the Shenzhen market in China jumped 1.38% and India's Nifty 50 rose by 1.2%, snapping a downtrend that began in late June amid tense US–India trade talks. 'Hope over fears,' says Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote Bank. Both nations would welcome any truce between Russia and the West, given their desire to maintain ties with both camps. European and US futures are also firmer. The yen is softer, while gold demand remains strong — showing investors are cautious ahead of Trump's meeting with Zelensky. Material progress could spark further oil weakness, a rally across equities, and softer gold demand. Disappointment would bring oil bulls back, pressure equities (except defense), and lift gold. Turning to the UK housing market, savvy summer sellers, pricing realistically, have driven the best July for sales agreed since 2020, with prices falling again in August, according to the property website Rightmove. Lower asking prices and good buyer choice are boosting sales activity, and the number of sales being agreed is now 8% ahead of this time last year. The number of homes for sales is 10% up on this time last year. The average price of a property coming to the market for sale dropped by a seasonal 1.3% to £368,740 in August, in line with the 10-year average, following bigger-than-usual declines in June and July. With many people on holiday, prices usually fall in August. The Agenda 10am BST: Eurozone trade for June
