Saif Derzi, founder of Property Buyers Today, said: “It is interesting that across London, house prices and increases can greatly differ depending on the borough.”

Mr Derzi said: “Although, it is important to note that the house prices in all boroughs are much higher than the UK’s average house price of £269,000.
“While London can seem like the perfect investment opportunity, this research uncovered that Sunderland, County Durham and Halton were the top areas for house price increases.”
“There is a growing confidence in the North East’s property market, as a result of its affordability and growing development.
“Buyers are increasingly seeking long term potential in locations, as these make excellent investments, as well as great areas to relocate to.”
