You could buy a dozen properties on a Swindon road for the same price as just one on another street.
Recent data collected by Property Solvers has ranked Swindon’s most and least expensive streets - and there is quite a large gap between them.
The company collected the figures by using house sales dating back from the past five years until June 2024 and only listed streets that had had three or more sucessful sales.
It found that overall, the average house price in Swindon was £273,459, which is £10,000 more than it was last year.
Mill Lane in Old Town topped the table as the most expensive street in Swindon, with three homes selling for an average of a whopping £956,666, which is almost £700,000 above the Swindon average.
Similarly pricey streets included The Quarries in Old Town, Leverton Gate in Broome Manor, and Westlecot Road in Southleaze, which were all on the market for more than £700,000.
At the other end of the list, Stonefield Close in Eastleaze has been revealed as the town’s cheapest street, with six properties going for a comparatively cost-effective £76,583 on average.
This is £196,876 cheaper than the town’s average home and £880,083 more affordable than those on Mill Lane.
Other affordable areas include Speedwell Close and Willowherb Close in Haydon Wick, and Heronbridge Close in Westlea, which each have properties going for around £84,000.
Rightmove lists five properties as being currently for sale on Mill Lane and the most expensive is a five-bedroom detached house asking for £900,000, whereas the only property listed on Stonefield Close is a studio flat asking for £82,500.
The latest stats show that, in general, property purchasers will pay 20 per cent more for a house in Swindon than they would have done five years ago.
In Stratton St Margaret, house prices have gone up by 33 per cent in that time frame, while in Wroughton, house prices have only risen by seven per cent during the same period.
Homeowners seeking to sell their spaces and move out have found that it takes 65 days to find a buyer, on average.
However, the four most recent sales recorded by Property Solvers have all taken longer than 100 days to find a buyer.
Property Solver uses HM Land Registry data to compile all of its lists.
