Mumbai, June 1 -- The UK Nationwide House Price Index rose 1.7% year-on-year in May 2026, slowing from 3.0% in April and marking the weakest annual growth in three months. On a monthly basis, house prices fell 0.6%, their first decline in five months. Nationwide attributed the slowdown partly to heightened uncertainty surrounding developments in the Middle East, which pushed up energy costs and market interest rates while weighing on consumer confidence and housing demand.
