House prices across the whole of the UK have risen to a record level, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).


In August, the house price index stood at 185.8, surpassing its previous peak of 185.5 in January 2008 by 0.3%.


According to the ONS, the average price of a house or flat in the UK is now £247,000.


That is the highest figure since the index was first calculated in 1968.


The figures suggest that house prices are increasing in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but still falling in Scotland.


Prices across the UK rose by 3.8% in the year to August 2013, up from 3.3% in July.
