Property prices still strong says Nationwide
Now that I've actually bought a house (confirmed this week), it's good to see property prices continuing steady.

Annual house price growth increased in August, with the market remaining "firm", the Nationwide has said.
The building society's housing survey found that prices rose by 0.8% during the month, the same as in July, lifting the annual rate of growth to 6.6%.
This was the fastest yearly growth rate since April 2005, and the average UK property now costs £167,721.
The three-monthly trend showed prices rose 1.4% in the three months to August compared with the previous quarter.
