The Alternative Measure of UK House Prices You Rarely See
We are all used to hearing about the average house price. It is the headline figure quoted in the press and the one most people reference in conversation. Yet average price only tells part of the story.
Another way to look at the market is through the price achieved per square foot. Rather than focusing on what a home sold for overall, it looks at how much buyers are willing to pay for the space itself.

At first glance, the numbers in this chart look almost absurd. In many parts of the UK, house prices are now forty, fifty, sixty, even ninety thousand per cent higher than they were in 1900. London sits at the extreme end of that scale, but every single region tells the same underlying story.
