This is the fastest annual rate since November 2022, when house prices rose by 4.4 per cent. Mr Gardner said Nationwide’s most recent data by property type indicates terraced houses have seen the biggest percentage rise in prices over the past year, with average prices up by 3.5 per cent. Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “These aren’t runaway price rises, but they’re firmly positive, which always helps boost buyer sentiment and keep the wheels rolling on the property bandwagon.” It comes after revised figures show growth across the UK economy was weaker than previously thought over the spring.
