Four postcode areas in Buckinghamshire have been regarded as some of the most expensive in the UK when purchasing a property, according to a recent study.

Analysed by the estate agent comparison website, Get Agent, the research concluded that Bourne End (SL8), Beaconsfield (HP9), Chalfont St Giles (HP8), and Hambleden (RG9), currently sit fourth, eighth, 13th, and 17th respectively in the top 20 list.

Other locations within the Thames Valley that made their standings included Ascot in Berkshire.

Colby Short, Co-Founder, and CEO of GetAgent comments: “By sharing some of our own consumer data and the trends we’ve observed over the past year, we’re hoping we can provide house sellers with some valuable insight, and top tips, in what is often a very confusing and tense time. 

“Living in a particular postcode can add thousands to your home’s value, whether that’s due to having prestigious schools (with catchment areas notoriously hard to get into) or even good transport links for commuters.

“Surprisingly, while you might assume that homes closer to the capital would fetch higher asking prices, our research actually shows that it’s countryside destinations that are topping the list of expensive postcodes.”

Lists were also published for the cheapest postcodes across the country, the cheapest in London, and the most expensive in London.
