Capital drags on national house prices

London endured a 3.8% decline in property prices for the year to February, according to the latest data from HM Land Registry and the Office for National Statistics, the largest drop for almost a decade. The capital still remains the most expensive place to buy in the UK, with an average price of £460,000. The average house price in Britain was £226,000, £1,000 higher than the same period a year earlier.
