Low volume makes market direction unclear
The latest data released by the Land Registry shows that only 16 properties changed hands in Brentford during March. This is down on the already historically low figure of 16 seen during January.
The average price for the month was exceptionally high at £401,100 but with so few properties changing hands it is difficult to reach a general conclusion about the market.
In the first quarter of this year as a whole the average private home in the TW8 area cost £328,093. This is up 5.6% on the last quarter and 15.7% on the previous year and is also an all-time high.
Prices in London as a whole were up by 10.5% to end March with the average property costing £357,675. London is still seeing the highest levels of increase in the country.
House prices in England and Wales dropped by 0.4 per cent in March compared to February, taking the average price to £184,798. It is the second consecutive monthly fall for England and Wales since August 2005. Over the year prices were up by 3.6%
The numbers quoted are based on Land Registry data. The numbers are subject to revision as there are usually some properties that are added late to the Land Registry's database.
