UK house prices grow fastest in north of England and Midlands
Aberdeen and Cambridge suffer sharpest falls since 2016 Brexit vote

Birmingham (up 16%), Manchester and Leicester (both up 15%) have seen the fastest growth since the June 2016 referendum, followed by Edinburgh and Nottingham (14%), Leeds and Cardiff (12%), and Liverpool and Sheffield (11%).

Meet the 'cleanfluencers', the online gurus who like things nice and tidy
Marie Kondo may be the biggest name in decluttering, but Instagram is awash with experts with millions of avid followers
It may not be spring yet, but everybody’s cleaning. Or, at the very least, they are talking about it. It has only been a month since Tidying Up With Marie Kondo launched on Netflix, but the series, starring the Japanese organisation expert, has already become something of a phenomenon. It has sparked joy among some, and arguments about how many books you should have in your home among others (Kondo, controversially, caps her collection at about 30). It has also led to charity shops reporting a Kondo-related surge in donations as converts go on decluttering sprees.
Kondo, who shot to global fame in 2014 when her book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up was published in English, is probably the biggest name on the clean scene. However, she is far from the only person to have organised their way to celebrity. The past year or so has seen cleaning take on a new cultural cachet – particularly on Instagram. The social network is rife with hashtags such as #cleaningobsessed or #cleaningtime and people are amassing enormous followings with pictures of gleaming kitchen counters and sparkling floors. Fitness influencers and fashion bloggers step aside: it’s starting to look like bleach is the new black.

If there’s anything more British than talking about the weather, it’s obsessing about house prices. This is a country where it’s taboo to ask someone their salary but perfectly acceptable to ask how much their house is worth (and look it up on Rightmove if they won’t tell you).
In recent years, it’s been harder to avoid talking about house prices than ever because, in many places around the country, they’re so out of control. According to the Office for National Statistics, the median price paid for a home leapt by 259% between 1997 and 2016, while earnings only rose by 68%.
