LONDON, March 25 (Reuters) - British house prices rose at the slowest pace since September 2024 in the year to January, official figures showed on Wednesday, while the pace of increase in rents was unchanged.
The annual rate of house price inflation slowed to 1.3% in January from 1.9% in December 2025, taking the average house price in the United Kingdom to 268,000 pounds ($359,000), the Office for National Statistics said.
Private-sector rents in February were 3.5% higher than a year earlier, unchanged from January's rate of increase and the joint-smallest rise since March 2022.
