UK Annual House Price Growth Slows to New Three-Year Low

British house prices rose at their slowest pace in more than three years in the three months to September, figures from mortgage lender Halifax showed, adding to signs of a slowdown in the housing market after Britain’s Brexit vote in June.

The increase in prices slowed to 5.8 percent from 6.9 percent in the three months to August, Halifax, part of Lloyds Banking Group, said on Friday.

In monthly terms, prices rose by 0.1 percent from August, the first increase since June
