House prices in market towns show big rise
House prices in market towns show big rise
- 2001
- Financial Times 26 February 2001, 5(2) .
An HM Land Registry survey reveals that house prices are rising faster in many market towns than in greater London as commuters are forced to look further afield due to the high cost of homes in the metropolis. The biggest increases are in towns with fast road or rail links to the capital, although demand for retirement properties is also driving up the value of rural homes. The north-south divide, however, continues to grow. The slowest growth was in North Wales whilst prices in Bridgend, Hartlepool and Stoke-on-Trent fell. Table.
