Mortgage Introducer website offers postcode price inflation calculator

Go to www.mortgageintroducer.com/houseprice/start.htm , tap in the postcode and compare and contrast the latest quarterly figures for detached and terraced houses or flats with other properties up and down the country or locally.

The House Price Index draws its statistics from all sales made in England, Scotland and Wales, not simply those bought with mortgages, like the Halifax and Nationwide indices, because over a quarter of property purchases in the UK are mortgage-free.
