Average house prices dip after record January surge

The average asking price for a home in Britain fell slightly in February 2026.
January 2026 saw a record increase in house prices, marking the largest rise for that month in 25 years.
Despite February's dip, 2026 shows strong growth in the housing market due to increased buyer confidence and rising wages.
