Everyone wants to hear that their home is increasing in value, but owners in parts of east Bristol ought to be jumping for joy at the latest figures, which show whopping increases of almost 30%.

By contrast, values in parts of south Bristol showed below-average rises.

While the average price of property across the city as a whole has risen 9% over the past year, homes in Greenbank are worth 29% more. Figures for neighbouring districts are slightly less, but still impressive: prices in Easton are up 21%, in St Werburgh's 19% and in Eastville 15%.

In some parts of the city, including Southville and Patchway, prices have remained static, but other healthy price hikes have been recorded for Knowle and Staple Hill (13%), Shirehampton and Westbury-on-Trym (12%), Cotham, Southmead and Brislington (11%), Bedminster, Ashton, Stoke Gifford, Horfield, St George and Bedminster (10%), and Redland (9%).
