Average home up £800 on last year, Nationwide says

Figures from the Nationwide show that the price of the average home increased by £800 in the last 12 months. Robert Gardner, Nationwide’s chief economist, said that average house prices had risen by £800 over the past 12 months to £215,368, a sharp slowdown compared with the year to October 2016, when prices jumped by £9,100. “The underlying pace of growth appears to have slowed as a result of weaker global growth and an intensifying of Brexit uncertainty,” he said.
