House Prices Rise in Bristol

House prices in Bristol rose by almost 13 per cent in a year, Land Registry

figures show.

In April 2007, the average price of a house in the city stood at £178,594,

compared to £158,241 the previous April.

April’s figures also represent a rise of one per cent on March’s house prices.
