TWO roads in Bucks are among the 20 most expensive in the UK outside London.

Fulmer Rise in Fulmer is third in the rankings of avenues in the millionaire bracket.

The data published this week is based on sales over the last two years collated by researchers for the price comparison website MoneySuperMarket,

Average cost of a house on the exclusive private estate a mile from Fulmer village centre during 2017 and 2018 was £5.865 million.

In 18th place is Burkes Road in Beaconsfield. Typical price paid for a house here was £3.5 million.

To prove you have the means to afford a property in the Top 20 equivalent to Hollywood’s Bel Air, the analysts reckon you need a deposit of no less than 96 per cent of the asking price to convince sellers you mean business in Fulmer Rise.

According to the money men, a 94 per cent deposit is enough to prove your worth in Burkes Road, Beaconsfield.

Pictured is a seven bedroom house on the gated private estate in Fulmer. It’s for sale through Hamptons International in Gerrards Cross.

The house was built 25 years ago with 100 year old bricks. The owners have planning consent for a two storey side and rear extension.

The grounds include a swimming pool and gym complex enclosed by a Victorian walled garden. The guide price of £3,999,950 would seem to be a snip compared with how much some of the houses in Fulmer Rise have been fetching over the past two years.

The two most expensive streets in the UK outside the capital were both in Weybridge, Surrey.

Typical price for a house in Brooks Close, the road placed first on the list, was £7.5m. In nearby Camp End Road, runner up for top spot, the norm was £7.3m.

Cheapest street in the country over the last two years was Davis Terrace in Sunderland where the average paid by homebuyers was £15,000 (don’t all rush, it’ll push the price up).

With Brexit looming, what does the future hold for buyers and sellers no matter where they live in the UK?

This month’s report from the Nationwide points to a favourable time for buyers in the months ahead. No surprise there.

The average price of a property in the Nationwide’s Outer Metropolitan region which includes Bucks dipped 1.4 per cent to £356,531 in the three months to December.

Robert Gardner, the building society’s chief economist said the trend “was not entirely unexpected” coming as it did after several years of soaring values leading to buyers being priced out of areas where they want to live.

He commented: “It is likely that the recent slowdown is attributable to the impact of the uncertain economic outlook, given that it has occurred against a backdrop of solid employment growth, stronger wage growth and continued low borrowing costs.

“Near term prospects will be heavily dependent on how quickly this uncertainty lifts. Ultimately the outlook for the housing market and house prices will be determined by the performance of the wider economy.

“If it continues to grow at a modest pace with the unemployment rate and borrowing costs remaining close to current levels we would expect UK house prices to rise at a low single-digit pace in 2019.”
