House prices continuing to rise across the country

The February data from the UK House Price Index for February 2022 indicates that on average, property prices rose by 0.5% in the month between January 2022 and February 2022. The annual increase of 10.9% means the average property in the United Kingdom holds a value of £276,755.

For the English property market, there was an increase of 0.9% in the average house of prices between January 2022 and February 2022. The annual price increase in England of 10.7%, is just less than the UK increase. The average property value in England stands at £295,888; which is greater than the average property value across the United Kingdom.

According to the UK House Price Index for February 2022, the average price of property in the South West of England stands at £312,697. This presents a 12.5% increase on the February 2021 figure, and a 1.2% increase on the January 2022 figure.
