BBC: Economy 'to dampen house prices'

The sluggish UK economy is likely to mean that house prices will not see any "meaningful" recovery for some time, two separate surveys suggest. There will be no "sustained" upturn until mortgages become more available, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) says.
