House Price Index – Country, region and city summary

Note: The Zoopla house price index is repeat sales-based price index using sold prices, mortgage valuations and data for agreed sales.

The index uses more input data than any other and is designed to accurately track the change in pricing for UK housing.

Executive summary

• The demand/supply imbalance is increasingly focused on family houses

• Annual house price moderates to +4.0% in March, with the strongest price growth in Wales (5.9%) and Yorkshire and The Humber (+5.3%)
