Price per square metre

The typical price paid for each square metre of floor space in homes sold here over the last 12 months.

See this on the map Least expensive areas

Each sale's price is divided by its floor area; the middle value of all the sales is the area's figure.

Example

A 60 m² flat that sold for £480,000 is £8,000 per m². If the area's median is £8,000 per m², a 90 m² home there would cost roughly £720,000. Dividing by floor area lets you compare a studio with a family house.

How we calculate it

Start from every standard sale recorded by HM Land Registry (Price Paid).
Find each home's total floor area on its Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and divide price by area.
Take the median of the sales in the 12 months up to each month.
An LSOA needs at least 20 qualifying sales in those 12 months. Fewer, and it shows its MSOA, then its borough figure, marked as a fallback.

The fine print

Only standard market sales count (Price Paid category A). Repossessions, buy-to-let and company sales (category B) and "other" property types are left out.
Sales without an EPC floor area, under £20,000, outside 15–1,000 m², or outside £500–£40,000 per m² are left out.
Land Registry registers sales with a lag of up to a few months, so the latest 12-month window is still filling.
If no level has 20 sales, the figure is suppressed rather than guessed.
