With continued uncertainty surrounding Brexit, the triggering of Article 50 in March and a hard-fought general election in June.

However, the value of housing has proved its resilience in the face of political ambiguity, finishing the year with a solid 3.5% rise - though down year-on-year from the 7.25% growth rate seen in 2016.

Though good news for homeowners, this continued growth does pose ongoing affordability challenges to those trying to get their foot on the first rung of the property ladder.

Recent stamp duty reforms may go some way to help, but there's more to be done in 2018to improve the picture for first-time buyers."
