It also dwarfs the yearly decrease of 1.7 percent in April 2019.<\/p>\n<p>A slowdown in the south and east of England has driven general malaise in UK house price growth over the last three years, the agency explained. While home prices for the UK moved up 1.2 percent in the year to May 2019, the growth lags behind the annual rise of 1.5 percent recorded in April.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/uk-property-gets-bulk-of-south-korean-investments-in-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">More: UK property gets bulk of South Korean investments in Europe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Home prices in London have posted annual declines since March 2018 but the city still has very low affordability levels.<\/p>\n<p>A property in London would set back by buyers by GBP457,000 (USD570,000) on average, making it the most expensive region for buying a home in the UK, the agency stated. The South East and the East of England follow London as the most expensive regions for purchasing homes, at GBP324,000 and GBP291,000, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The average home price in the UK stood at GBP229,000 in May, up GBP2,000 from the same period in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The North East region commanded the lowest average home price in England at GBP128,000, which is still below its peak before the
