Comparing UK House Prices by Region

Thursday, March 31st, 2016 in: Buying a Home, Finance

breaking the ice with neighbours

Though relatively small, the UK has a wide range of socio-economic areas. A popular litmus test for these areas is the house price; people assume that a higher price denotes a more affluent area. However, that naturally makes a place less accessible or ‘gentrified’, whereas areas with lower house prices are more accommodating. Yorkshire, all eyes are on you!

Below are a few ballpark figures for regional house prices across the UK, as provided by Lloyd’s Banking Group for the final quarter of 2015. We hope you find it useful as a reference for future use.

London – £416,163

South East England – £305,698

East Anglia – £214,219

South West England – £219,935

West Midlands – £176,344

East Midlands – £168,586

Wales – £149,975

North West England – £147,499

Yorkshire – £141,507

North England – £146,565

Scotland – £129,359

Northern Ireland – £119,180

Average UK House Prices

With the above in mind, the average house price in the UK last year was £205,558. While it may seem like Yorkshire falls well below this, we must consider that London – at over £400,000 – bumps up the average by quite a bit. Property buying in the capital is fiercely competitive and forces many residents to move elsewhere, or rent tiny flats for extortionate amounts.

What Does This Mean For Yorkshire?

Yorkshire’s house prices sit towards the lower end of the spectrum – more affordable than both its southern and northern counterparts, yet costlier than Scotland and Northern Ireland. In our eyes, this makes Yorkshire a very inviting region in which to settle. While the house prices are affordable, the range of cities – Leeds, Sheffield, York, Hull – towns and villages make it suitable for all walks of life. Whereas Londoners are hemmed in by busy urban living, a Yorkshire resident can commute to the city and be in affordable green splendour after a 20 minute drive. That’s the way we like it!
