According to Office for National Statistics figures, the average house price was £31,000 higher in April than a year earlier.
ONS figures also released on Wednesday showed that Consumer Prices Index inflation rose from 9% in April to 9.1% in May. The lowest annual house price growth was in London, where average prices increased by 7.9% over the year to April. The average house price in London remained the most expensive of any region in the UK, with an average price of £530,000 in April.
