16.03.202600:01:00UTC+00UK House Prices Edge Higher as Rightmove Index Rises 0.8% in March

UK asking prices showed fresh momentum in March, with the Rightmove House Price Index rising 0.8% month-over-month, according to data updated on 16 March 2026. The move marks an acceleration from the previous month, when prices were flat at 0.0% on a month-over-month basis.

The March reading suggests sellers are becoming more confident, pushing up asking prices after a period of stagnation. The comparison is based on changes in prices from one month to the next, with the latest “actual” figure measuring March vs. February, while the “previous” value reflected the change from January to February.

While the 0.8% uptick is modest, the shift from zero growth to positive territory will be watched closely by market participants looking for signs of renewed activity in the UK housing sector. Investors, lenders, and policymakers may interpret the turnaround as an early signal of improving sentiment, though sustained gains would be needed to confirm a stronger upward trend.
