Sept 16 (Reuters) - Average private rent prices in Britain rose in August in annual terms at the fastest rate this year, according to official data on Wednesday that also showed a cooling in house price inflation.
Average rents increased by 3.8% year-on-year after a 3.7% rise in July, the Office for National Statistics said. It was the strongest reading since December.
Annual house price inflation eased to 1.4% in July from 1.5% in June.
