London values tower over the rest of the UK
While average residential prices across Greater London (-1.6%) saw a greater fall than the wider UK during H1 2023 (-0.6%), as ever the capital remains by a distance the most expensive area of the UK. At the mid-point of 2023, average values in the capital equated to £733 per sq ft, 78% higher than the average for the South East, the second most expensive region of the UK.
Average per sq ft pricing in Greater London is heavily skewed by its prime central districts, with Westminster commanding average values of £1,588 per sq ft. However, even when London’s prime inner districts are excluded, the rest of London’s average value of £610 per sq ft still towers above the South East average of £411 per sq ft.
The North East sits at the other end of the pricing spectrum, with the average price breaking down to £171 per sq ft. However, beyond the UK’s southernmost regions, average pricing is relatively uniform between the UK’s other regions with average values across the North West, Yorkshire & the Humber, the Midlands ranging between £216 to £263 per sq ft.
Sub-regional value variance
The district spread of average residential values within the UK regions is tightest in the North East, with the most expensive district of North Tyneside (£210 per sq ft) commanding a relatively modest 51% premium over the region’s least expensive district of Hartlepool (£139 per sq ft). The second lowest intra-regional variation between districts is seen in the South West, where the average price spread is 61% between the most expensive and least expensive districts.
Conversely, and beyond the extremes associated with Greater London, Scotland exhibits a substantial 159% spread in average prices between its constituent districts. Scotland is home to the cheapest district of anywhere in the UK, namely North Ayrshire (£130 per sq ft), and also the most expensive district outside of the UK’s southern regions, namely Edinburgh (£337 per sq ft).
