By 2028,Britain’s average house price will have risen 84% since 2010,taking the average cost of a home to £289,500.

It’s pretty bleak when buying a house in London already,with costs hitting an average of £665,178,according to Rightmove.

But there’s one ‘under-appreciated’ UK region that is set to overtake the capital in house price growth – and it’s not in the south.

If you catch a train an hour-and-a-half north,you’ll find yourself in the East Midlands,which by 2028 will have seen growth of 94%.

This is according to analysis by Hamptons,which suggests come 2026,areas like Nottingham,Leicester,Derby,and Stamford (among others) will be outperforming the big smoke.

The estate agent has dubbed this the year of the ‘regional power shift’ so if you want to make a good investment,buying in the East Midlands may serve you well.
