UK house price growth moderated in October 2026, with the Nationwide House Price Index (HPI) rising 0.5% year-over-year, down from a 0.8% annual increase recorded in September 2026. The latest data, updated on 30 October 2026, point to a further cooling in the pace of price gains across the housing market.
Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price change to the same month a year earlier. October’s weaker figure suggests that, while prices are still rising compared with a year ago, the rate of appreciation is losing momentum as the market adjusts after a stronger phase earlier in the year.
