How that compares

  • Against the wider region: About 16% below the North West average of £219,506.
  • Against the UK as a whole: About 32% below the UK average of £271,295.
  • Rent against the wider region: About 6% below the North West average rent of £969.

Each comparison is our own arithmetic on two published figures from the same release and the same month — not a separately published statistic.

A single monthly house price figure for one local authority moves around more than a regional or national one, because far fewer homes are sold into it. A large jump or fall in one month is more often a change in which properties happened to sell than a change in what any given home is worth.
