New research has revealed that penalty notices are imposed on around twelve million driving licence holders every year, which equates to around one every 2.5 seconds. 

The latest UK House Price Index has revealed that average house prices in the UK increased by 5.0% in the year to August 2017 (up from 4.5% in July 2017). According to the Office for National Statistics, which published the Index, the annual growth rate has slowed since mid-2016 but has remained broadly under 5% during 2017.

Families have contrasting views over what the older generation should do with their money, new research has revealed. The over-50s want to save their money and pass it on as an inheritance; while adult children would rather their parents spent their money on themselves.
