House prices still rising
Updated on 30 August 2007
House price growth picked up during August with the cost of the average home in the UK rising by 0.6%, figures have showed.
The rise, which was well up on the previous month's increase of 0.1%, pushed average house prices up to £183,898, according to Nationwide Building Society.
But the annual rate of house price inflation continued to slow during the month, dropping slightly to 9.6%, down from 9.9% for the year to the end of July, further contributing to growing evidence that the market is coming off the boil.
