We take a closer look at the East Midlands region as part of
our series of property spotlights, focusing on average house prices,
the
total number of sales and the size of the market around the country.
The figures are based on the latest data from the Land Registry
House Price Index which helps to form a picture of the region’s housing
markets. While there is no single measure which provides a complete
picture of the market, below are 20 areas with statistics on the total
value of all property transactions in the past year. This has been
calculated by multiplying the average value of homes by the number of
sales.
