According to Moneyextra the average property values prices fell in March to their lowest level since October last year.

At £220,303, the average price is up just 4.8% on year-ago levels and is actually down 1.2% on February’s £222,9231.

Property values fell both for first-time buyers and for home movers.

However, the fall of just £891 - to an average £176,205 - for first-time buyers underlines that this is the sector of the housing market still experiencing the greatest price pressures.

Despite the falls seen in the last month, first-time buyers are still facing the largest increases in prices year on year, with the average price experienced by those looking to buy a house for the first time rising by 5.9%.

The average value of mortgages actually completed by AWD Moneyextra customers in March fell again to its lowest level for three months at £142,708.75. The most popular mortgage lender in March was Lloyds TSB subsidiary Cheltenham & Gloucester.
