House prices across the UK grew at the fastest pace in
March since shortly before the financial crisis hit in 2007, according to
official figures. With buyers rushing to take advantage of the government’s

climbed 10.2% in the year to March, up from 9.2% in February. This is the

for National Statistics. The average UK property cost £256,000 in March,
£24,000 more than in March 2020. Prices rose 2.1% between February and March.
