 Wide range in regional house price rises

 

Tuesday, May 11, 2004


A less up to date but arguably more accurate report on the state of the housing market was published by the Land Registry today.

A wide range of regional house price rises over the year are shown from 9.3% in Greater London to 27.15% in Wales with an average rise for England and Wales of 14.06%.

According to the report, which covers the period January – March 2004 the average house price in England and Wales now £166,404 compared with £145,897 in the same period a year ago.

The report compares average prices and volume of sales with those for the same period in 2003 and it also gives a breakdown of the average sale prices of old and new properties by property type.

Other details:

  • All economic regions in England and Wales showed an increase in average prices
  • The volume of sales increased by 12.27% from 217,262 in 2003 to 243,914 for the same period in 2004
  • 795 properties over £1 million were sold

Greater London:

  • The average property price increased by 9.39% from £240,126 in 2003 to £262,685 for the same period in 2004
  • The volume of sales increased by 14.19% from 28,417 in 2003 to 32,448 for the same period in 2004
  • 470 properties over £1 million were sold
