Nationwide reports small house price rise

Leading mortgage provider Nationwide has today released figures showing house prices increased by 0.2 per cent in July.

Although it is a rise, property valuations remained 0.4 per cent lower than 12 months ago, with the average home now valued at £168,731.

Commenting on the figures, Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist, said: "Stability has been the watchword for the UK housing market over the past 12 months.

"Sluggish demand for homes […] has helped to keep property prices relatively stable."

If statistics taken from the UK's Land Registry, which placed June's average property price at £161,479, are taken into account then property prices actually increased in real terms by £7,252.

The figures come following comments this week from online property information website Mouseprice, which put forward the case that confidence is slowly returning to the housing market.
