All 10 regions across England and Wales have registered an outperformance of prime homes (top 25% of sales) in the 12 months to end of October 2022.
This ranges from 4.8% growth in the North East to 11.1% in the South West. The average rate of annual growth for the top quartile of the market stands at 8.4%. Prime markets have, on average, increased 2.7% more than the market as a whole.
Nationally, house price growth has slowed considerably overall but there will remain opportunities for growth, including in prime markets where buyers have more equity and are less reliant on mortgage finance.
