Figures published by the Department for Communities and Local Government show house prices up 0.7% in August, leaving them 8.3% higher than a year ago. (The data's relatively old because it's based on completions.) The three-month change - a better indicator - shows house price inflation slowing, to 0.8% in the three months to the end of August, from 1.7% in the three months to May.
