House Prices in UK's Favourite Soaps Operas

House prices in Coronation Street, Albert Square, Brookside etc. are all revealed by House Price website www.mouseprice.com

(PRWEB) March 10, 2005 -- We all enjoy watching our favourite soap and immersing ourselves in the lives of the various communities. Through the telly we have come to know the characters like family. www.mouseprice.com was one of the first websites to allow nosey neighbours to find out how much the Jones' paid for their place. Now www.mouseprice.com has gone a step further and has revealed the likely worth of the houses in your most favourite soaps!

As a bit of fun, www.mouseprice.com, an online service that provides the actual price paid for all houses, has compiled the following information about our most loved soaps...

Coronation Street
You might love Corrie , but did you know that the rooftops that you see in the credits are some of the cheapest in Britain? House prices on Laburnum Street in the Langworthy Estate, which is where the soap is located, are dramatically below the UK average property price. A three bedroom terrace house, costs around 17,000, and the average price since 2000 for properties in this area is around 7,000. Even though it appears as though this area is warm community, the majority of homes are boarded up and awaiting demolition!

Eastenders
In the war of the soaps Eastenders and Albert Square come out on top - in terms of property prices at least! Albert Square or our proxy, Tredegar Square - E3, is one of the nicer parts of East London . As would be expected in London, property here is not cheap. For 845,000 one can own a 5 bedroom terrace. If you want to become a true Eastender you'll need a bit of dosh!

Emmerdale
Those living in this little village in rural Yorkshire have experienced a 96% increase in the value of their property since 2000. A three bedroom semi-detached home on Emmerdale Main St. aka Esholt Lane is now worth approximately 130,000. A handsome sum, but then again the delights of the Woolpack are just down the road.

Brookside
Brookie fans will know that the first episode was shown on the 2nd November 1982 and instead of filming in a studio six real houses were brought. Brookside Close, aka Coachmans Drive - L12 is a nice area despite the many controversial issues raised by the show, e.g. Drug Abuse, Domestic Violence,Bulimia and Religious cults etc.... Here one can enjoy a three bedroom semi for 190,000. The area is not too far from various shops, restaurants and even a nightclub.

Hollyoaks
Finally we have Hollyoaks - aka Bouverie Street - CH1 . This area has seen large growth over the past 5 years, close to a 78% increase. Here one can find a three bedroom terrace house going for 170,000. Depending on your view point, the proximity to Hollyoaks Community College may be a positive or negative feature.
