Brexit bite pushes U.K. consumer confidence to six-year low

LONDON: U.K. house-price growth remained stuck in a subdued pattern in August as worries about the economy knocked consumer confidence lower.

Nationwide Building Society said values were unchanged on the month and rose 0.6% from a year earlier. That’s a ninth straight month of sub-1% increases. The release came as GfK said consumer sentiment fell to match its lowest level in six years.
