House price rise slowdown continues
Annual house price inflation in July was 4%, down from 5% in June according to figures released today by the Deputy Prime Minister's office.
This drop in the growth of house prices pushed the annual house price inflation in London down to 0.9% in July 2005, a fall from the from 1.7% figure in June 2005.
The average house price in the UK in July 2005 stood at £186,207, up from £184,162 in June 2005.
The UK annual house price inflation rate for the three months to July 2005 was 5.0% and 1.4% in London.

With the exception of Northern Ireland, the three other countries saw a fall in annual inflation in July. The inflation rate in England fell from 4.1% in June to 3.1% in July.
