House prices in the UK continued to rise for a fifth consecutive month in September. But how easy is it to still obtain a mortgage?

The price of a typical home rose 0.9% in September to just under £162,000, which are broadly in line with prices in September last year.

In August, prices rose 1.4% from a month earlier and were 2.7% lower on the year.

Economists were expecting a 0.7% monthly gain and 0.3% drop in annual terms in September.
