House Prices in the Eastern Region

Posted on: Wednesday, May 24, 2017


The Guild take a look at the West Midlands region as part of a series of property spotlights. In the series, we touch on the average house prices, number of sales and the size of the market around the country.

There is not a single measure which provides a complete picture of the UK market, however with figures from Land Registry House Price Index data to give an indication of the region’s housing markets, here are 20 top areas with statistics on the total value of all property transactions in the past year.




Market snapshot:

  • The district with the largest market is Bedfordshire which saw £1,511m worth of transactions in the year to January 2017.
  • This was followed by St Albans with £1,132m worth of sales over the same period.
  • The district with the highest overall average house price was Three Rivers where prices sit at £514,5000, which is 124% above the national average.
  • The market with the highest number of transactions was Central Bedfordshire with 5,050 sales occurring during the period.


Where have house prices increased the most? Here are five districts with the highest annual capital growth.

Having recently used 3 other agents I can say with hesitation that WGH are in a different league, very professional, efficient, polite and friendly. 3 other agents have marketed my house which only achieved 2 viewings in total. I had 2 viewings with WGH in the first week which I put down to their marketing skills

WG-H couldn't have been more helpful, queries were answered immediately by professional courteous staff , and they even offered to turn the heating up in our holiday house when the weather was particularly cold. Gayle would ring us during an evening to respond to our query , if required and Amanda even paid a cheque into our bank account. What a lovely company to work with.

Adrian and his team have been amazing from start to finish. Very polished team, with the highest standards. I have recommended them to friends and family who have also been impressed by them.
