The coastal town of Aldeburgh, located in the IP15 postcode area, has experienced a remarkable 77% increase in average house prices over the last twelve months. Homes in this Suffolk location sold for an average of nearly £775,000 each in 2025, compared to £612,000 in 2024.
This represents the largest percentage increase of any postcode area in England and Wales with at least twenty sales during the period. The analysis also highlights the Usworth area of Washington in Tyne and Wear, where the NE37 postcode saw homes sell for an average of £164,000 last year. Despite being one of the least expensive postcode areas in the country, it recorded a substantial 26% annual increase from 2024's average of £130,000.
What This Means for the Regional Property Market
The data provides valuable insights into the shifting dynamics of the West Midlands property landscape. The concentration of growth areas across different parts of the region suggests a broad-based recovery rather than isolated hotspots. The consistent performance across multiple postcodes indicates sustained buyer confidence and demand throughout 2025.
These figures will be of particular interest to current homeowners considering selling, prospective buyers evaluating investment opportunities, and property professionals monitoring market trends. The substantial percentage increases in certain areas demonstrate how strategic location choices can translate into significant financial gains in the current property climate.
