House price inflation in the UK is still accelerating, government figures indicate.
The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) - formerly the ODPM - says prices rose by 5.6% in the year to May, up from 5.1%% in April.
According to the government survey the average house or flat in the UK now costs £190,051.
Prices have picked up particularly strongly in Northern Ireland, where prices are 16.9% up on a year ago.
The one-month rise from April to May was 0.9%, the DCLG said.
Boomed I tell yer.
