Annual house price growth remained subdued in March, according to the Nationwide building society, which said an increase of 2.1% was down slightly from 2.2% in February. Prices rose the fastest in Northern Ireland, increasing by 7.9% in first three months of the year compared with the same period a year earlier, while prices rose by 6.1% in Wales and 0.2% in Scotland. London remains the most expensive area - a typical home in the south of England costs £331,047 - twice as much as the typical price of £163,138 in the north of England, the Nationwide said.
