These 15 postcodes have seen the biggest hike in house prices over the last year

Some areas have seen prices increase by more than twice the national average

House prices in parts of the UK have risen by more than five per cent over the last 12 months, according to Barclays Mortgages Postcode Ownership Index

An analysis of house prices in 15 cities across the UK has found that some areas have seen prices rise at double the national average of 2.6 per cent, with many of these in the North of England and Midlands. The Barclays Mortgages Postcode Ownership Index is based on data provided by Barclays Mortgages to Hometrack, a property analyst, using average house prices from Zoopla.
