How this was worked out
Towns ranked by the percentage change in median sold price between the most recent sales window and the prior one. To avoid small-sample noise, only towns with at least 1500 recorded sales are ranked, and changes beyond ±60% (data artefacts rather than real movement) are excluded.
Source: official Price Paid records. As of 2026-09-05 . The median is used rather than the mean so a few unusual sales do not distort a figure.
