The areas of the UK that saw the biggest concentrations of house price jumps and drops has been revealed.
Around one in 10 homes across Britain increased by 5% or more in value last year, despite the tough property market, according to research.
Despite high mortgage rates and the continued pressure on living costs, Zoopla estimated that around one in five (21%) properties held their value last year, with no significant change.
A further 25% of homes are estimated to have gained between 1% to 5% in value last year, while 10% gained 5% or more.
Nearly a third (31%) are estimated to have lost between 1% and 5% of their value, while one in seven (13%) lost 5% or more.
