The housing market became inaccessible for many during the first lockdown last year. Since last summer, however, the numbers of house sales and prices have risen. The latest Nationwide survey shows: house prices rose by 10.9 per cent in the year to May, the fastest pace in seven years. The number of transactions reached a record high of 183,000 in March, and this is four times more than 42,000 in April 2020.
