House prices reach record high

Figures from the ONS show that house prices have reached a record high in the UK, but property inflation has slowed to its lowest level since March 2017. The average house price rose 3.9% to £227,000. London house prices staged a surprise bounce in the month, rising 2.4%, with annual property inflation in the capital returning to positive territory at 1%. However, this is the lowest rate of growth for any of the UK regions.
