UK house prices have risen for the seventh consecutive month, helped by better-than-expected news from the job market, the Nationwide has said.

The building society said that the average home increased in value by 0.5% in November compared with October and now costs £162,764.

The typical home was 2.7% more expensive than a year ago, at a similar level to prices in early 2006.
