House prices in Northern Ireland have risen the most compared to the rest of the UK.

NI had the strongest annual house price inflation in May, increasing by 15.2%, according to new figures.

The average house price in NI is currently £185,386.

The average house price hit £289,099 in May across the UK, but the market is showing signs of cooling, according to an index.

"Annual growth also remains in double digits, at 10.5%, although this is the slowest rate of growth seen since the start of the year."
