UK house prices rose by 0.1% in March, according to the latest figures from Nationwide building society, but in some parts of the country prices are lower than at the start of the year.
The latest monthly snapshot of the market from the UK’s biggest building society showed the annual rate of growth softened for the seventh consecutive month, and now stands at 5.1%, against its recent peak of 11.8% in June 2014.
Nationwide said the average price of a home was now 2% above its pre-crisis peak, at 189,454. The figures are based on mortgages approved by the society, adjusted to reflect the typical home and are the first to show us what prices have been agreed in March and over the first quarter.
Separate figures from Land Registry based on sales registered in February put the average price of a home in England and Wales at 180,252, an increase of 0.5% on January’s figure and up by 6.5% on February 2014.
