The average house price in the UK has jumped 24% since 2020. Fuelled by people on London wages fleeing the city during COVID.

Nah, it's fuelled by the pent up demand from 2020 and the practically free borrowing that's been going on for ten years and that stupid, stupid stamp duty holiday nonsense. The same shit that's driving up the prices of everything.

A great deal more folks moved out of flats, small houses all over the countryI'd like a link to something authoritative on this (so yeah, a guardian link ) < --- I jk.

The knives out undercurrent in this thread for anyone who had the temerity to buy their first property after ~2016 is a bit unpleasant at times. An 'overdue' correction to the housing market would be exceptionally difficult for a lot of people who did nothing wrong other than not being old/well off enough to buy a house ten years earlier.
