UK house prices rise more slowly in June, with annual growth slowing to 2%, according to new figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The data indicate that the overall pace of increases across the UK has eased compared with earlier months.
The reports highlight that London is still seeing declines, with prices falling for 10 consecutive months. However, outlets note that while London’s prices drop, the rate of decline has moderated, suggesting the fall is becoming less steep than before. Other coverage focuses on the national slowdown in growth rather than any single region.
Overall, the outlets agree on the headline figures—annual growth at 2% in June—and on London’s continued downturn, but they differ mainly in emphasis, with some stressing the national slowdown and others focusing on how London’s monthly trend is shifting.
