		</div><p>UK house prices have gone through volatile increases over the past 5 years. Ever since the pre-economic downturn peak of 185.5 in January 2008, the UK index has increased by over 16.9%. If we track back to 2004 up until now, the percentage changes over a 12 month period have gone through an &#8220;up and down&#8221; movement, of which we are on the downward slope of this curve.
