In October, the figure had fallen to 6.4%, having previously peaked at 9.3% in June.
The average price of a UK home in November was Â£218,000, according to the ONS and Land Registry data.
The ONS said the figures, which include cash sales, continued the "strong growth seen since the end of 2013".
The local authority which saw the sharpest increase was Rutland, England's smallest county by population size, where prices rose by 20.7% over the 12 months.
By contrast the biggest drop in prices - a fall of 7.8% - was seen in both Aberdeen and Inverclyde, to the west of Glasgow.

Payne, unbeaten on 48 when bad light ended play, joined Dent (86) at the crease with his side struggling at 97-7, before helping them to 201-7.
Gloucestershire lost three wickets in the morning, when they scored only 33 runs from 24 overs, with 129 dot balls.
Paceman Steve Magoffin led the way for Sussex, taking 3-35 from his 19 overs.

Mourinho has already made three big summer signings and is closing in on Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.
Schweinsteiger, 31, looks like being one of nine players who may leave.
The midfielder, who has announced his international retirement, trained on his own as United's full squad trained together for the first time.
Forwards Adnan Januzaj, Will Keane and James Wilson, midfielder Andreas Pereira and defenders Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Tim Fosu-Mensah, Tyler Blackett and Paddy McNair are also reportedly set to be made available, though some may only leave on loan.
With all the other senior players who were absent from the recent tour of China present, Schweinsteiger's absence from Thursday's squad training session is being viewed as significant.
United paid a reported £14.4m to sign him from Bayern Munich 12 months ago but the move did not work out as planned.
Injury restricted Schweinsteiger to 31 appearances and he was involved in just seven of United's final 34 games, including missing the FA Cup final win over Crystal Palace.
He injured a knee on international duty in March and only returned at Euro 2016, when he scored on his first appearance, as a substitute, against Ukraine.
Of the other players who did not train with the United squad on Thursday, Januzaj has had the biggest fall from grace.
The 21-year-old Belgian was one of the star performers in David Moyes' single season in charge, when he earned himself a big increase in a five-year contract.
But his progress was not maintained and he was loaned to Borussia Dortmund last season.
He did not start a league game and the German side were happy to let United cut the deal short midway through the season when Louis van Gaal's squad were badly affected by injury.
He then featured for 17 minutes in three substitute appearances.
Since his arrival, Mourinho has signed Villarreal defender Eric Bailly for about £30m, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund for an undisclosed fee and former Paris St Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a free transfer.
House price inflation picked up to 6.7% in the year to the end of November, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
