UK house price inflation falls
Annual house price inflation in the UK fell to 6% in May, a decrease from 6.9% in April, according to the latest figures from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM).
The inflation rate fell in all the home countries, dropping to 5.3% in England, 13.8% in Wales, 11.8% in Scotland and 9.3% in Northern Ireland.
The inflation rate also fell in all regions, except Yorkshire & the Humber. The highest inflation rates in England remained in the North, in Yorkshire & the Humber (12.3%), the North West (12.2%) and North East (11.1%). The lowest rate is in London, where inflation fell from 2.7% in April to 1.6% in May.
Mix-adjusted house prices rose by 0.5% between April and May 2005, compared with a rise of 1.3% during the same period in 2004.
The ODPM attributed the rise in UK prices mainly to the rise in prices of terraced and detached houses, which both increased by 1%. Apartment prices remained constant and the average prices of bungalows and semi-detached houses fell by 0.9% and 0.2% respectively.
The mix-adjusted average house price in the UK in May was £182,651, an increase from £181,832 in April. In England, mix-adjusted average house prices in May were £191,623, while in Wales they were £147,077, £124,422 in Scotland and £125,321 in Northern Ireland.
The English region with the highest average house price in May remained London at £264,505 ,while the region with the lowest average price was the North East at £130,474.
