Buckinghamshire's cheapest places to buy a home have been ranked by average house prices that also reveal the most sought-after towns.

House-hunters can see a vast difference in what they'll need from the best bargain neighbourhoods to the most expensive in the region in the list below.

Spanning across Beaconsfield, High Wycombe, Cryers Hill and Milton Keynes, prices for homes are compared by local authority areas.

Figures have been compiled by metal roofing manufacturer Cardinal Steels and Online Marketing Surgery for their House Price Report.

Experts used the House Price Index from the Office for National Statistics, comparing year-on-year averages between January 2023 to January 2024. It shows that the cheapest homes were in Central Milton Keynes, followed by Brickfields with average prices of £233k and £268k respectively.

By no surprise, the most in-demand homes in the past year were in some of the cheapest neighbourhoods.

The highly populated areas of Buckinghamshire are Milton Keynes with 197,354 residents, Aylesbury (87,967), High Wycombe (83,523), Bletchley (45,006) and Chesham with 23,689 residents.

The least populated areas in Buckinghamshire are Amersham (17,387), Newport Pagnell (15,248) and Marlow with 14,644 residents. 

In sharp contrast, the most expensive area for properties is Beaconsfield with its Old Town and popular service station just off the M40, Chalfont Saint Giles and Amersham.

The average home in Amersham now fetches over £748,510, whilst properties in Beaconsfield could set you back at £1,308,331. 

A spokesman for the Online Marketing Survey said: "With constant inflation rises, the opportunity for first time buyers to get a mortgage offer that is affordable and reasonable is extremely difficult. This is leaving people either not moving out at all or paying to rent a place instead.

"Central Milton Keynes and the MK9 postcode is the cheapest area in Buckinghamshire to buy a property with an average price of £233,256.

"The area in Buckinghamshire with the highest house prices is Beaconsfield and the HP9 postcode, with an average price of £1,308,331."
