    (Reuters) - British house prices fell in February for the first time in five months, taking the annual rate of increase to its lowest since September 2013, figures from mortgage lender Nationwide showed on Monday.

    Britain's housing market has been slowing since the middle of 2014, when regulators tightened mortgage lending rules, though a pick-up in home loan approvals in December caused some economists to think this might be coming to an end.

    Nationwide's figures showed that house prices dropped by 0.1 percent in February, however, well below the 0.3 percent rise seen in January. Economists had forecast another 0.3 percent rise in February.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    Don't know what you're on about, mate! -0.1% is only £6 off a house if you vote Green.
    If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.

    What mortgage rationing? Perhaps there's a dearth of quality borrowers.
