Lloyds Bank have been doing some number crunching. Using figures of actual house price sales from the Land Registry between January 2009 and October 2014, they have worked out where you’ll have to fork out the most.
In each case the figures are based on at least five house sales.
None of the most expensive streets in Yorkshire are found in York. Eight of the top ten are found in the “golden triangle” between Harrogate, north Leeds and Wetherby – scroll down for the names.
Meanwhile, here are the top three priciest York streets.
1. Main Street, Fulford
That figure may have been skewed by the sale of 13 Main Street, a five-bedroom, two-bathroom detached house, which sold for £1,180,000 in 2013 (and is now worth £1.27m according to Zoopla).
2. St Paul’s Square
According to Lloyds, the average price here is £550,000. Number 37 sold in January 2014 for £890,000 says Zoopla – not bad for a terraced house.
3. Clifton Green
If it weren’t for the busy junction of Clifton and Water End, it could be the very epitome of an English village green.
The average price of a house here, say the Lloyds Bank team, is £512,000. Number 22, a detached house with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, sold in April 2014 for £765,000.
Elsewhere in Yorkshire
York not pricey enough for you? Then travel to heart of the golden triangle, where a house on the region’s most expensive street will cost you well over one million smackeroonies…
But what do these streets have in common?
