House prices hit a new all time high in July as the property market gradually reopened, after being put on pause during the coronavirus lockdown.

According to the latest Halifax House Price Index the average price of a home was £241,604 last month, 1.7% higher than June's £237,834.

Prices are 3.8% higher than July 2019.
