Full story: Why house prices in Beeston, Oakwood and Belle Isle have soared in the last year as Leeds housing market stays strongThis is why these areas have seen prices shoot up, according to expert Mark Manning, of Manning Stainton estate agents.
Prices are based on figures published by the Office of National Statistics.
1. Oakwood + 31.7%
Oakwood saw a price rise of 31.7 per cent. Average house prices are now £323,527. Mr Manning said: "First Roundhay, then Chapel Allerton and now Oakwood. This suburb has become the new ‘go to’ destination for people searching out a cosmopolitan life, thanks to its great street-side cafes, trendy restaurants, high-end salons and highly-regarded local schools. Plus, let’s not forget it’s also on the doorstep of Roundhay park with its beautiful rolling parkland, lakes and woodland too. All these factors have resulted in a large influx of buyers which has pushed prices up.”
2. Beeston + 30.1%
Beeston Hill saw a price rise of 30.1 per cent. Average house prices are now £112,059. Beeston East saw a price rise of 15.5 per cent. Average house prices in the area are £136,251. Mr Manning said: “This is an area that has seen a huge influx of buyers who fit into two distinct groups. First-time-buyers who love the affordable prices in the area, as well as its connectivity to the city, but in recent times investors have also returned in their droves, with plenty of southern-based landlords searching out the high returns often achieved in this location.”
3. Pudsey +22.5%
Pudsey North East saw a price rise of 22.5 per cent. Average house prices are now £199,253. New Pudsey saw a price rise of 17.4 per cent. Average house prices in the area are now £215,910. Mr Manning said: "Pudsey has always been a hotbed of activity, but in recent times this traditional market town has risen in stature even more. It boasts a great town centre with lots of new bars, restaurants and even a wine and cheese emporium. The area also benefits from great connectivity to Leeds city centre thanks to New Pudsey Train Station, and people who live in the suburb generally just think it’s a great place to call home. All these factors have helped push prices up.”
4. Belle Isle + 21.1%
Belle Isle North saw a price rise of 21.1 per cent. Average house prices are now £127,523. Mr Manning said: “Belle Isle is an interesting one. It’s an area that has a high percentage of ex-local authority properties, now complemented by the well-established developments at New Forest and Heritage Village. What this area offers is good-sized family homes with generously-sized gardens at affordable prices."
5. Hyde Park + 20.6
Hyde Park saw a price rise of 20.6 per cent. Average house prices are now £174,938. Mr Manning said: “Another hot-bed of investor activity for sure. We have seen the migration of students here who want to be closer to the university and, as such, Hyde Park remains the place to invest in student property. As investors compete, the yield requirements fall and prices go up.”
6. Woodlesford and Oulton + 17.4%
Woodlesford and Oulton saw a price rise of 17.4 per cent. Average house prices are now £257,130. Mr Manning said: “These locations offer the whole package. Good quality housing stock, great schools, access to key transport links, as well as some great local destinations, including the picturesque canal and Oulton Hall. And compared with some other areas north of the city, these areas still provide great value properties for young and aspiring families.”
