UK house prices increased by 2.2% in the year to November 2019, up from 1.3% in October 2019.

The UK Property Transaction Statistics for November 2019 showed that on a seasonally adjusted basis, the number of transactions on residential properties with a value of £40,000 or greater was 102,050. This is 1.9% higher than a year ago. Between October 2019 and November 2019, transactions increased by 3.2%.

House price growth was strongest in Wales where prices increased by 7.8% over the year. Wales has experienced record annual growth in November 2019. This is driven by a shift towards higher value property being transacted between October and November in areas with a typically larger volume of transactions, such as Cardiff and Newport, coupled with a fall in prices during the same period in 2018. The lowest annual growth was in East of England, where prices fell by 0.7% over the year to November 2019, followed by London where prices increased by 0.2% over the year.
