UK house prices recorded a marginal increase in July, with the Nationwide House Price Index (HPI) rising 0.1% month over month, according to data updated on 31 July 2026. The move follows a flat reading in June 2026, when the index registered 0.0% on the same month-over-month basis.
The latest figure signals a slight pickup in momentum for the housing market, as the current month’s change is calculated in comparison with June, while June’s unchanged reading was measured against May. Although the improvement is modest, the transition from zero growth to a small positive gain suggests that price levels are inching higher after a period of stagnation, offering an early indication of stabilisation in UK residential property values.
