House prices edged down in June, according to the latest figures from Nationwide Building Society.
The typical home fell by £540 compared to May to £277,484.
However, annually, the average price is up 2.2 per cent compared to 1.7 per cent in May.
It means the typical home is worth almost £6,000 more than June last year - at least on Nationwide's metrics.
Britain's biggest mutual says on a monthly basis, prices are currently flat having adjusted for seasonal effects to take account of months when the housing market is typically more or less active.
