A slight pickup in annual house growth from March, but the data here isn't really a market mover by any means. Just a rough indication of the UK housing market performance.
The average price for houses were higher this month at £213,000.
GBP/USD sits near the highs on the day at 1.3932 but in a confined range. EUR/GBP at 0.8690 also in a tight range on the day.
