Source text - English House price rises slow down as rate increases take hold
House prices rose at their slowest pace since May this month as rising interest rates began to have an impact, new figures showed.
The Nationwide reported yesterday that prices increased by a modest 0.3 per cent in January, compared with rises of 1.4 per cent in November 2006 and 1.2 per cent in December 2006.
Analysts said that the Bank of England’s three interest-rate rises since August, coupled with fears of further increases this year, were beginning to cool the market.
The last interest-rate rise was at the beginning of January, when the Bank of England pushed rates up to 5.25 per cent — a five-year high.
The impression of a cooling market was confirmed by weakness in the number of mortgage approvals for house purchase, which dropped to 113,000 in December from a three-year high of 129,000 the month before, official data from the Bank showed.
Geoffrey Dicks, of RBS Financial Markets, said: “The approvals data . . . suggest that, even before January’s surprise move, the previous (August and November) hikes were beginning to bite.”
However, the figures indicate that despite cooling, the market remains strong. Mortgage lending rose to £10.6 billion in December, an 11.5 per cent increase on the same month a year ago and a record in cash terms.
Kelvin Davidson, of Capital Economics, said that the approvals data marked a genuine shift in sentiment among buyers in response to higher rates. “We continue to expect a marked cooling in activity levels and house price growth over the course of 2007,” he said.
Consumer demand for unsecured debt remained subdued, the Bank’s data revealed. Consumer credit rose by £1 billion in December, in line with expectations. Additional figures showed that M4, a measure of the broad money supply, grew by an unrevised 12.8 per cent in the year to December.
Translation - Spanish El crecimiento del precio de la vivienda se ralentiza conforme se dejan notar las subidas de tipos
El incremento del precio de la vivienda de este mes ha sido el más bajo desde mayo, a medida que se empieza a percibir el impacto de la subida de tipos, según han mostrado las nuevas cifras.
Nationwide informó ayer de que los precios en enero se incrementaron un modesto 0,3%, comparado con las subidas del 1,4% en noviembre de 2006 y del 1,2% en diciembre de ese mismo año.
Los analistas han señalado que las tres subidas de tipos del Banco de Inglaterra desde agosto, unidas a los temores de que se produzcan nuevos incrementos durante el año, están empezando a enfriar el mercado.
La última subida del tipo de interés se produjo a principios de enero, cuando el Banco de Inglaterra elevó los tipos al 5,25%, el máximo en cinco años.
Los indicios de enfriamiento del mercado se han visto confirmados por la debilidad del número de préstamos hipotecarios aprobados para la compra de vivienda, que ha caído a 113.000 en diciembre, después de que el mes pasado se registrara un máximo de tres años con 129.000 préstamos, según datos oficiales del banco central.
Geoffrey Dicks, de RBS Financial Markets, ha declarado: “Las cifras de aprobación (…) sugieren que, incluso antes de la inesperada acción de enero, las anteriores subidas (de agosto y noviembre) ya estaban empezando a hacer efecto.”
Sin embargo, los datos indican que, a pesar del enfriamiento, el mercado sigue estando fuerte. La cifra de préstamos hipotecarios alcanzó 10.600 millones de libras en diciembre, lo que supone un incremento del 11,5% respecto al mismo mes del año anterior y un récord en términos de efectivo.
Kelvin Davidson, de Capital Economics, ha destacado que los datos de aprobación marcan un auténtico cambio en la valoración de la subida de tipos por parte de los compradores. “Seguimos pronosticando un enfriamiento significativo en los niveles de actividad y en el crecimiento de precios de la vivienda durante el año 2007,” ha apuntado.
La demanda de préstamos personales por parte de los consumidores sigue siendo débil, según indican los datos del Banco de Inglaterra. Los créditos al consumo se incrementaron en 1.000 millones de libras en diciembre, de acuerdo con las previsiones. Datos adicionales señalan que el M4, un indicador de la oferta monetaria amplia, ha crecido durante el año un 12,8% hasta diciembre (cifra provisional).
