Find out where the priciest properties are in your area

Lucia Adams

A property on one of the top 20 most expensive streets in England and Wales will set you back an eye-watering £4.7m to £6.8m pounds. Recent housing market statistics may show that property prices are stagnating or even falling in some areas. But according to analysis of Land Registry data by the property information website mouseprice.net, the credit crunch has not caused values at the very top end of the market to crash. Last year's most expensive street, Kensington Square in London's W8, cost £5,534,480; but a new high has been set by Courtenay Avenue, N6 where the average home costs £6,809,900.

Unsurprisingly, London and the South East account for the majority of streets wth the highest property values across England and Wales; top prices in these two regions are more than double the value of the most expensive streets in some other regions

Wales is the region with the lowest average prices; with the top street reaching £897,400, it is the only region whose top street does not break the million pound mark.

which are the most smelliest streets in London?

riccardo, brussels,

To Steve m in London,

If you read the Article, it makes it clear that the records are taken from the Land Register. That'll be the Land Register of England and Wales. The clue is in the first line.

But if it makes you happy, here goes. "What about Scotland!!!"

Smith, Aberdeen,

Kensington Palace Gardens is the most expensive residential street in the world. However, there are usually insuffcient sales per year for it to be included in the above statistics. The fact that this article misrepresents what most people who live in London know is shocking.

John Smith, London, UK

What a ridiculos list! For example Eaton Square & Chester Square are certainly more expensive than all these streets.

Typical silly statistics.. For example I bet one house sold on Courtenay Avenue, N6: at a very high level..

With this logic the average houseprice on Kensington Gardens (where Laksmi Mittal boght a house for Â£67m) is roughly Â£60m..

Chris, London,

Isn't it about this point that some from Scotland writes and and says ....What about Scotland!!!

Oh, sorry to our northern cousins but you just don't make the list do you

Steve m, London, England

Should this article not actually go somewhere, or conclude something!?!

Nick, Chesterfield,

More property porn - can't we at least see some photos to have a good leer? - phwoar!

Paul, Coventry,
