The DCLG house price report might not be the most exciting (it's always a month and half late) but it's the most important, since it deals in completion prices rather than asking prices or fairy dust. October's: year-on-year inflation up to 8.6% October-to-October, compared to 8% September-to-September. More here. (As of writing, the report hasn't appeared on the DCLG website, yet. But keep an eye on this.)
