British house prices failed to rise in monthly terms for the first time since July 2021, mortgage lender Nationwide said on Friday, a latest sign of the slowdown in the market caused by the cost-of-living squeeze and rising interest rates.

House prices were unchanged from August and were 9.5% higher than in September last year, representing the first time the annual measure did not show a double-digit percentage gain since October of last year, Nationwide said.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast monthly and annual price rises of 0.3% and 10.0% respectively. Britain’s housing market has cooled after a coronavirus pandemic boom as surging inflation hits consumers budgets and the Bank of England raised interest rates.
