Default North South divide.

The large amount of (fairly) recent building on former employment sites,
mainly ex-Philips like at St Andrew's Road and St Matthew's Gardens, is
more reasonably priced. And some 30% is affordable housing (40% on newer
developments).

St Matthew's Gardens is a bit cheaper with 3/4 bed houses nudging
half a million. St Andrews Road, on the other hand, is much more
expensive for freehold 3/4 beds with several valued at the moment in
the 700-800k bracket. Leasehold 2 bed flats are around 400k.

Last week's property supplement has a 1 bed flat in St Matthew's Gardens
with an asking price of £260K.

Not sure if that's evidence of a high price (£260k a bedroom vs £125k)
or what.
