House prices nudged up just 0.2% in March, the Halifax has said.
The lender puts house prices for the first quarter of this year 1.1% ahead of the same period last year, and puts the current house price at a ‘seasonally adjusted’ £163,943. The price is in line with what both the Land Registry and Nationwide are currently quoting.
Halifax’s housing economist Martin Ellis said: “Weak income growth and continuing below-trend economic growth are likely to remain significant constraints on housing demand during the remainder of this year.
“Overall, we expect to see a modest increase in UK house prices during 2013.”
Halifax also pointed to discrepancies between HMRC reporting a rise in house sales between January and February this year, and data from the Bank of England showing monthly falls in house purchase mortgage approvals.

I don't give two monkeys what name you choose to post under. The fact is it's the same you, trolling as you have been for a fair while now. Your posts are easy to spot - abusive, off the subject matter and dull.
If you're going to troll, can't you be more creative?
LOL
