UK house prices jump 6.4% in March

The average UK house price rose by 6.4% annually in March, reaching £271,000, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This increase follows 5.5% annual growth in February, driven by a surge of homebuyers eager to finalise purchases before the end of the stamp duty holiday. London saw the lowest annual price growth, at 0.8%. The average price in the capital was £552,000, the highest in England.
