House prices in Northern Ireland rose by more than 14% in the year to February, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
That was twice the UK average rise of 7% and the biggest rise since November 2007.

The index is based on data from mortgage completions.
Northern Ireland experienced a deep and prolonged house price crash from which it is just recovering.
The definitive house price index for Northern Ireland is produced by Nisra, the local government statistics agency.
Its most recent edition, published in February, showed that prices rose by 8% between the end of 2013 and the end of 2014.
On its measurement, prices are still lower than they were at the start of 2005.
