Yorkshire streets provide cheaper homes

Thorgam Court, Grimsby, and Morrison Avenue, Maltby, near Rotherham, came 13th and 20th in the national survey of house prices by comparison site Mouseprice.com

Houses on Thorgam Court had an average property value of 36,400 – more than four times less than the British average, while houses on Morrison Avenue, Maltby, cost an average of 37,800.

For the second year running the country's most affordable street is Mountain Ash, in Fernhill, north of Cardiff, where a house will set you back an average 28,600.

The North-East and North-West dominate the rankings; four in the top 10 can be found in the Middlesborough area and three in Burnley, Lancashire.

A spokesman said: "Evidently the North-South divide still exists, as none of the southern regions make an appearance in the report."

The good news for owners is that all the streets which featured in last year's list have gone up in value.

The Yorkshire region's top ten features West Bank Rise, in Keighley, which is in third position. The average cost of property there is 39,900. Beech Close, in Hull, came in fourth with a 40,500 price tag for an average property while in Wroxham Avenue, Grimsby the average price is 41,700. Hull's HU3 postcode features three times in the top ten this year – down from five last year.

In stark contrast the cheapest houses, based on the average of top 10 streets, in Greater London cost 101,140, followed by the South-West where they fetch 67,020.
