Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial newsGood morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of business, the financial markets and the world economy.Some good news for homeowners this morning as UK house price growth unexpectedly grew in October.Against a backdrop of subdued consumer confidence and signs of weakening in the labour market, this performance indicates resilience, especially since mortgage rates are more than double the level they were before Covid struck and house prices are close to all-time highs.Looking forward, housing affordability is likely to improve modestly if income growth continues to outpace house price growth as we expect.
