UK-based Blend Network, an online P2P lender, reveals that the average UK house prices “grew by 5.7% year-on-year in March.” Blend Network added in its latest property market report that activity has slowed down from December 2020’s 6-year high growth of 7.3% year-on-year. But price “momentum” is still impressive “especially considering that the UK has been plunged in a national lockdown since 4 January.” The Blend Network team also noted that in March 2021, they saw “a barrage of positive news and policy support for the housing market” which had been announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak in his Spring Budget on March 3, 2021.
