House prices fall to a 2 year low as fears grow slump will continue until 2015 | Mail Online

Around £40,000 has been wiped off the average value of a home in Britain over the last four years, research has revealed.

The fall has plunged many homeowners into negative equity, the term used when the size of a mortgage is higher than the value of a property.

At its peak in August 2007, the average value of a home in Britain was about £200,000.
But the Halifax bank said yesterday that this figure has dropped to £160,000, a 20 per cent reduction.
