The two bar charts compare average house prices in England overall and its capital London between 1995 and 2013, as well as 2013 house prices across different English regions.
Overall, average house prices rose significantly in both England and London over the period, with London consistently having far higher property prices than the national average. In 2013, London was also the most expensive region for housing, while the North East was the cheapest area in England.
In 1995, the average house price in England was around £130,000, whereas London’s average stood at £200,000. By 2013, these figures had increased to £200,000 for England and over £400,000 for London, meaning London’s house prices more than doubled, while the national average rose by around 50%.
Looking at regional prices in 2013, London was the highest at £400,000, followed by the South East at roughly £320,000 and the South West at £270,000. The North West had an average price of £200,000, while the Midlands and North East were notably cheaper, at around £120,000 and £100,000 respectively.
