LONDON (Reuters) – British house prices fell by 0.2% in March after a 0.7% increase the month before, bucking economists’ expectations in a Reuters poll for a 0.3% rise, figures from mortgage lender Nationwide showed on Tuesday.
House prices were 1.6% higher than a year earlier, a faster rise than February’s 1.2% but short of the 2.4% increase which economists had expected.
