UK house price growth slows

Requests for property valuations have hit their highest since the start of the year, the latest research has revealed. House price growth has been slowing since the beginning of the year, according to the country’s most-watched indexes. While still breaking new records, the Nationwide House Price Index revealed that the figure grew 10.7% in June, to an average of £271,613. However, growth was more subdued than in the previous month, which saw the cost of a home climb 11.2%. House prices have been steadily rising over the last decade but have exploded since the start of the pandemic.
