Property prices in the UK rose once more in September, following August's slight fall but new figures show flats remain out of favour with buyers. Nationwide data shows prices are up 0.5 per cent month to month, keeping annual prices rising at 2.2 per cent. But the statistics show there are major differences in price changes between the north and south of the UK, as well as in the property type.

Since 2013, the average floor area of properties in England has changed, with bungalows, terraced homes, and semi-detached properties increasing in size, while flats have shrunk.

Plans have been submitted for seven new homes at the back of a former office block in Hornchurch, consisting of two one-bed, four three-bed and one four-bed units.
