UK house prices will continue to rise in 2017 but at a much slower rate, according to research from the Halifax. Britain's biggest mortgage lender said annual house price growth would be running at between 1% and 4% by the end of the year. That compared with an average of 10% in March 2016.

To discuss the predictions Sue Dougan was joined by CEO of eMoov, Russell Quirk.
