The largest monthly sample of residential house prices has seen the asking prices of property coming to market cut by 2.9% - the biggest fall Rightmove has ever recorded in August.

The identity of a buyer reportedly shelling out £11.5 million to acquire an entire seaside fishing village in Devon remains a mystery.
We reported a couple of months ago that the village was for sale and it didn't take long for a buyer to come along, but residents of picturesque Bantham are still none the wiser as to who the person or persons might be.
