The average asking price for a home in the United Kingdom jumped 6.0 percent on year in April, property Web site Rightmove said on Monday, following a 5.3 percent annual increase in March.
On a monthly basis, asking prices were up 2.6 percent after ticking higher by 0.1 percent in March.
By region, the London area saw the greatest increase with asking prices climbing 9.0 percent on year.
"With weather disruptions out of the way, more sellers are coming to the market and they appear to be ignoring the uncertainties facing potential buyers," Rightmove said in a statement accompanying the data. "Prices are up, but so is choice, and the two are not happy bedfellows in the longer term."
