Bingham Detached House Prices See Increase of 8.14% During 2016

This week we have seen reports in the media surrounding house prices.   The Office for National Statistics has just released data collected from December 2016.

They have produced a comparison of the monthly inflation of house prices, calculated using data from Land Registry, for all areas across the UK.  The National average price of a property has risen by 7.2% during 2016.

I had a closer look at the local authority for Bingham which is Rushcliffe and came up with some interesting results. We must remember though the Rushcliffe borough is a large one and includes diverse suburbs and villages.

The average price of a property sold during the year to December 2016 had risen by 7.63% according to the ONS results.

The report had broken the increases down even further by each property type:

Detached houses 8.14% increase

Semi detached 7.64% increase

Terraced house 6.49% increase

Flat/maisonette 7.15% increase

Remember these figures are on sold prices as recorded at Land Registry not the advertised asking prices.   These results are very encouraging to see for anyone who already has an investment in property or who is considering becoming a Landlord.

Buying the right type of property is always going to be very important though – it needs to have minimal void periods as well as seeing some capital growth.  If you are looking to purchase a ‘buy to let’ property keep an eye on my blog for potential investment opportunities across the market.
