Houses outside London but within easy reach of the capital are outpacing price rises within the M25
(Picture: Alamy Stock Photo)House prices are often the talk of town across London, which is home to some of the highest average valuations in the country, but new research shows that prices in areas outside the capital have been rising faster, for longer.
Saxo, the investment platform, has crunched the numbers on average house price data going back to 2010 and found that the increases in the home counties are outpacing those within London itself. Buckinghamshire ‘s average house price was up 70% over the last 12 years, taking it to over £491,000. Over the same period, London’s rose 34%, but remained higher at almost £533,000.
