STREETS in Bramhope, Burley-in-Wharfedale and Ilkley have been named in the top ten most expensive places to live in the region.

With average house prices around the £1million mark, Bramhope’s Hall Drive, Burley’s Moor Lane, and Curly Hill in Ilkley are among the top ten most expensive streets in theYorkshire and Humber region, according to Lloyds Bank.

The bank studied records for house sales between 2009 and 2014, to find the streets with the highest average property prices both nationally, and for each region.

Although Yorkshire’s most expensive street, Rutland Drive, with an average property price of £1,152,000, is just a fraction of the value of the most expensive in England or Wales - Grosvenor Crescent in Westminster where the average price is almost £17 million - the study shows property prices in the region remain buoyant.

Curly Hill, in leafy Middleton, north of the River Wharfe, was joint most expensive street in Yorkshire and the Humber, alongside College Farm Lane in Wetherby.

The average property price for the street was £1,012,000.

Hall Drive in Bramhope takes the title of the most expensive street in the Leeds area, with an average property price of £938,000. The rural Moor Lane, Burley, was the ninth most expensive street in the region, with an average property price of £910,000 Mortgages director at Lloyds Bank, Andy Hulme, said: “Rutland Drive in Harrogate takes the title as the most expensive residential street in Yorkshire and the Humber. The region’s golden triangle between Harrogate, north Leeds and Wetherby is a well known hotspot for those who aspire to have it all, and boasts eight of the ten most expensive streets.

“The remaining two streets are both in Ilkley. All of these areas have outstanding homes, excellent schools, good shopping facilities and are close to the countryside.”

All prices in the study were based on transactions between January 2009 and October 2014, recorded on the Land Registry database for England and Wales. The data in this report is compiled from over 1.78 million UK post codes supplied by the Royal Mail in conjunction with the Land Registry database of housing transactions and prices.

Only postcodes or streets where there have been at least seven transactions over the period are included.
