2. Economic statement

England house prices grew by 3.7% in the year to April 2018, down from 4.0% in the year to March 2018. England house prices are growing slightly slower than the UK annual rate of 3.9% in the year to April 2018. The South West was the fastest growing region with an annual growth rate of 6.1%, up from 5.3% in the previous month. London was the slowest growing region at 1%, up from -0.5% in the previous month. This is the 6th consecutive month that London has the lowest annual growth rate of any UK country or English region.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England increased by 0.6% on the month, compared with an increase of 0.3% during the same period a year earlier.

The UK Property Transaction Statistics for April 2018 showed that on a non-seasonally adjusted basis, in Quarter 1 of 2018, the number of transactions on residential properties with a value of £40,000 or greater was 223,460. This is down 3.0% compared to Quarter 1 of 2017 and down 17.8% compared to Quarter 4 of 2017.

Across England, all property types showed an increase in average price in April 2018 when compared with the same month in the previous year. Semi-detached houses showed the biggest increase, rising by 5.3% in the year to April 2018 to £228,000. The average price of flats and maisonettes showed an increase of 0.3% in the year to April to £225,000, the smallest increase of all property types. Weaker growth in England flats and maisonettes was driven by negative growth in London for this property type. London accounts for around 30% of England flats and maisonette transactions.

As with other indicators in the housing market, which typically fluctuate from month to month, it is important not to put too much weight on one month’s set of house price data.

Annual price change by local authority for England

Low numbers of sales transactions in some local authorities and London boroughs, such as City of London, can lead to volatility in the series. While we make efforts to account for this volatility, the change in price in these local levels can be influenced by the type and number of properties sold in any given period. Geographies with low number of sales transactions should be analysed in the context of their longer-term trends rather than focusing on monthly movements.

4. Sales volumes

Due to a period of 2 to 8 weeks between completion and registration of sales, repossession volume figures for the most recent two months are not yet at a reliable level for reporting, so they are not included in the report.

Sales volume data is also available by property status (new build and existing property) and funding status (cash and mortgage) in our downloadable data tables. Transactions involving the creation of a new register, such as new builds, are more complex and require more time to process. Read Revisions to the UK HPI data for more information.
