April 18, 2017

According to Your Move’s England & Wales latest House Price Index for March 2017,  the average house price is now £301,278, a 3.3% increase since last year and 0.5% increase since February.

New peak prices were set in 39 of the 109 regions and counties in England & Wales, up from 26 last month and the West Midlands has become the region with the highest rate of annual house price growth at 4.8% according to the report.

Prices are continuing to slow in London and the South East with increases of 1.5% and 3.5% respectively.

Oliver Blake, Managing Director of Your Move and Reeds Rains estate agents, said: “In England and Wales, house price inflation continues but at a relatively low, though still positive, level. The average annual rate of house price inflation was 3.3% in March, slightly up from the revised 3.1% seen in February.
