The 10 postcodes where prices have soared in the last year
Cornish towns and parts of the North West have seen house prices rocket in the last 12 months, but there are still some parts of the UK where you can pick up a home for less than £50,000

 

The Cornish market town of Redruth – specifically the TR16 6ER postcode – has seen the largest increase in house prices across the UK over the past year. Homes there have gone up in value by 21.12 per cent, taking the average price to £305,734, said Money.co.uk.

The price comparison site said this is still slightly lower than the UK average house price of £315,059.

Newquay takes second place as house prices in the TR7 1NG postcode rose 16.43 per cent in value in the last year. The average house price there has increased to £445,451 – 41.39 per cent above the UK average.

Much of the top 10 was dominated by Preston, which saw house prices soar in the last year.
