Top of the list outside of London was Golf Club Road, Weybridge in Surrey which will set you back £5,937,835.

Mark Goldstone, head of business representation and policy at West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, said the £4m-plus price difference shows you get more for your money in the North.

He said: “It is good to see Leeds feature in this list, recognition that the city can command prices of this magnitude.

“The bigger story for me is just how much more affordable housing is in the North compared to the greater south east, something we should really be shouting about especially when companies are seeking to invest or expand in the UK.”
