07% house price rise in October

According to the latest data from Nationwide, the UK's biggest mortgage lender, house prices rose another 0.7% this month but the annual rate of increase eased slightly to 8.0%

The average home costs £169,623 in October, £12,500 more than a year earlier.

Fionnuala Earley, Nationwide's group economist, said though house prices cooled in October following a sharp increase during September, the underlying trend is 'still firm'. She noted that the three-monthly growth rate rose to 2.6%, its fastest pace since Sept 2004.
