The Daily Express was today forced to flag up an IPSO adjudication on its front page after an inaccurate splash headline which stated: “EU Exit Boosts Houses Prices.”

The report was published on 22 July 2016, a month after the EU referendum, and it stated “house prices rose by more than 10 per cent last month as Britain voted to leave the EU”.

It stated that figures released by property analysts Hometrack showed that property prices across major cities had risen by 10.2 per cent year-on-year, and the increase was “stronger than the 6.9 per cent year-on-year price rises seen in June 2015”.
