Property asking prices rose by 3.1 per cent in February – except in the Midlands.

Nationally new sellers priced high to see a 0.3 per cent January rise.

The average property on the market in England and Wales cost £230,030 — broadly unchanged from a year earlier, said property website Rightmove.

In the West Midlands and East Midlands, the only areas where prices did not rise in the month, asking prices fell by 1.4 per cent and 0.1 per cent respectively.
