BARNSLEY house prices dropped more than anywhere else in Yorkshire in March, new figures have revealed.
The average Barnsley house price in March was £161,256, Land Registry figures show - a 2.8 per cent decrease on February.
Over the month, the picture was different to that across Yorkshire and the Humber, where prices decreased 2.1 per cent, and Barnsley was lower than the 1.2 per cent drop for the UK as a whole.
Over the last year, the average sale price of property in Barnsley rose by £8,300 - putting the area seventh among Yorkshire and the Humber’s 15 local authorities with price data for annual growth.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
