UK House Prices Fall in May 2026, Creating Strongest Buyers’ Market in Years
June 1, 2026, 5:25 AM EDT. UK house prices fell 0.6% month-on-month in May 2026, the first decline this year, Nationwide reported. Annual growth slowed to 1.7%, down from 3.0% in April, with averages at £278,024. The downturn follows geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, rising energy costs, and higher market interest rates. Nationwide's chief economist Robert Gardner noted economic growth may weaken and inflation rise, but household finances remain solid with low debt levels and savings buffers. Despite recent rate hikes, mortgage costs have only modestly impacted affordability. Jason Tebb of OnTheMarket called it the strongest buyers' market in years, as price-sensitive buyers negotiate amid seller caution.
