House prices in Kent rose by just over seven per cent in a year, Land Registry
figures show.
In April 2007, the average price of a house in the county stood at £197,548
compared to £184,444 the previous April.
April’s figures also represent a rise of 0.5 per cent on March’s house prices.
The average cost of a detached house in Kent in April was £336,448, semis
costs £196,113 and the average price of a terraced house stood at £151,548.
The figures put Kent above the national average cost of a house, which stood at
£179,935 in April.
The busiest month for moving house in Kent between April 2006 and this
February was in August last year, when 3595 properties were sold. The quietest
month was in February with 2,252 homes sold.
