Overall, average house prices across England and Wales have risen £11,500 in the last year, after 42 months of annual growth.
September’s monthly price increase takes property values to ninth consecutive record this year, standing at £284,742.

Adrian Gill, director of Reeds Rains and Your Move estate agents, comments: “The speed of house price growth across England and Wales may not be setting the world alight, but it’s certainly showing it has stamina. September marks the 42nd successive month of positive annual growth. Typical property prices are now £11,500 (4.2%) higher than a year ago, and house price growth continues to outdo rises in wages and consumer prices. In September the average home value in England and Wales rose to reach £284,742, a healthy £1,231 (0.4%) monthly boost from August, setting the ninth new price record this year.
