LISBON: The average value of bank mortgage evaluations dipped by 2.4 percent in June, establishing an overall average of €1,030 per square metre, the National Institute of Statistics reported.
However, the month-on-month figure was better with the €4 rise on May representing a 0.4 percent increase. The slide in the average property value stemmed primarily from apartment prices with an annualised decline of 2.9 percent and partially due to a change in the typologies subject to mortgage evaluation analysis.
