House prices in prime locations breached £1m, survey shows | Business | The Guardian
If you want to rub shoulders with the wealthy it could be time to move to Beaconsfield – if you can afford it.
The Buckinghamshire town, famous for being the setting of ITV's Midsomer Murders, has been named as having the greatest density of million pound homes in the country.
Almost half of the town's homes sold for more than £1m in June, according to property website PrimeLocation.com. It comes as the number of homes changing hands at more than £1m reaches a near-record high of one in every 29 sold.
There is also good news for those with more modest abodes as the latest Rightmove House Price Index today shows the average asking price increased by 0.7% to £233,139 over the past month. But the average price is still down 3% over the summer and unsold stock is still at levels not seen since the 1970s.
