Average house prices increased by 2% over the year to July, according to the latest survey by the Office for National Statistics.

It says that the average UK ‘mid-adjusted’ house price in July stood at £234,000, with annual increases driven by a 5.7% rise in London.

By contrast, Northern Ireland house prices fell by 10.9% and in Scotland by 1.1%.

Annual house prices also decreased by 1.3% in the North-West and 0.5% in the North-East.

Excluding London and the South-East, UK house prices rose by just 0.6% in the 12 months to July.

The ONS figures bear little resemblance to those of the other government ‘official’ house price survey, the Land Registry. There is a gap of £71,100 between the two sets of figures.

The Land Registry quotes £162,900 for July house prices in England and Wales, excluding Scotland and Northern Ireland, where house price falls have been heaviest.
