16/01/2008 - London Lite

I dont normally read the London Lite but an article caught my eye. There was
on an article on the average house prices around each station. The houses
had to be within half a mile of the station. Apperently Hatton Cross has the
cheapest house prices. I forget which station has the most expensive. It
would be nice to see the full list of stations and their house prices rather
than the limited ones the London Lite printed. The East London Line is the
cheapest for house prices followed by the Central Line.

Precisely. Who would want to live there!

As you say there's a massive volume of high price info published on a
regular basis. A few google searches for estate agent websites would
soon identify the price ranges.

LUL stations only? If all stations then Esher would probably win,
although Barbican might give it a good run for its money.

I'm surprised anyone lives within half a mile of Hatton Cross. You'd
have to be either a plane spotter or deaf!!

Deaf planespotters?

That does seem strange - but tube stations are more likely to be on
a main road surrounded by shops, so that the average for areas
further out is likely to be depressed by over-representation of
locally undesirable flats.
Not sure I've explained that very well! Basically a house in a
cheap area can still cost more than a flat in a posh one.

Did they try to correct for the nature of the property somehow
(only include 2-bed houses or something)?

Thanks
