Friday newspaper round-up: House sales, fuel prices, The Telegraph
(Sharecast News) - House sales are expected to accelerate over the next four months as buyers seek to benefit from tax breaks that are due to run out in April 2025, according to the online property website Zoopla. The number of home sales increased across the UK this year, pushing up prices by 1.5% in the year to October. Next year prices are expected to rise by 2.5% and transactions will jump by 5%, the website said. - Guardian UK motorists are paying more than they should for petrol and diesel even as global energy market prices have fallen in recent months, the competition watchdog has warned. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) repeated its call for the new government to take action "as soon as possible" to end the "persistent" overcharging, six months after it found that motorists paid £1.6bn more than they should have last year alone. - Guardian
