Fall in house prices reported in January
House prices in the UK fell by 0.1% in January, figures released by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) have revealed.
The report showed that the price of detached houses fell by 0.5% while semi-detached house prices also fell by 0.1%. However, the price of terraced houses and flats rose slightly, each by 0.3%.
The report found that the average price of a house in the UK fell slightly to £178,796 in January, from £178,906 in December.
The average price of a house in England in January was recorded at £190,611, compared with £140,920 in Wales, £116,467 in Scotland and £119,413 in Northern Ireland.
UK annual house price inflation also fell in January to 10%, a drop of 0.7% from the previous month. Annual inflation rates fell in most areas, the figures showed, except for Wales where there was a slight increase to 21.3%, compared to 20.8% in December.
The highest rates of inflation remained in the North West (19%), the North East (17.5%) and Yorkshire and the Humber (15.2%). Inflation was below 10% in both the East and South East.
London reported the lowest inflation rise – from 3% in December to 5% in January – which was attributed to a rise in prices between December and January this year, compared to a fall over the same period last year.
