Home buyers are paying around one and-a-half times typical property prices in their area to live within one of Britains protected green spaces, Savills said (John Walton/PA) (Image: PA Archive/PA Images) According to a recent analysis, home buyers are shelling out approximately one and-a-half times the typical property prices in their area to reside within one of Britain's protected green spaces. Savills, a property firm, discovered that the average price of a property located within a National Park is £422,225, compared to the county average of £279,171, which translates to buyers paying a premium of 51 percent. Living within a National Landscape (formerly known as Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) carries an even higher price tag, averaging at £581,121, meaning buyers are faced with a 48 percent premium, according to Savills.
In Scotland, buyers are expected to pay 46 percent more to live in a National Scenic Area, with an average price of £285,175, as per the research. In certain locations, buyers are required to pay more than double the average house price in the wider area. Chichester Harbour was found to command a particularly high house price premium compared to the county average at 122.
