Nearly a third of the property price-cuts across the UK – over 32 per cent – were in July, emphasising how the Brexit vote has hit vendors' confidence.

Lawrence Hall, a spokesperson for Zoopla, said the discounts are "not as high as one might have predicted given the EU referendum outcome".

He added: "However, where there are bargains to be had, this could present a good opportunity for those first time buyers lucky enough to have saved the required deposit.

"Couple this with the recent interest rate cut decision which could result in further adjustments in mortgage rates, the second half of this year could be a great opportunity for first time buyers to research the market and find a bargain."
