The age of huge UK property price increases may be coming to an end as population growth slows and working from home booms, according to a senior economist at the Office for Budget Responsibility.

David Miles, one of three members of the UK budget watchdog’s top committee, said that changing working habits, a flattening population and an end to a decades-long fall in borrowing costs make explosive house price growth less likely.
