House prices in Worcestershire rose by just over five per cent in a year, Land
Registry figures show.
In April 2007, the average price of a house in the county stood at £185,361
compared to £175,310 the previous April.
April’s figures also represent a rise of 0.4 per cent on March’s house prices.
The average cost of a detached house in Worcestershire in April was £290,320,
semis costs £158,899 and the average price of a terraced house stood at
£129,744.

which stood at £179,935 in April.

this February was in August last year, when 1,242 properties were sold. The
