House prices mapped: Where an extension on your property could make you a fortune

Homeowners living in Central Bedfordshire, which includes towns such as Woburn, Sutton, Maulden and Haynes, stand to make the most from expanding their place, the statistics published in the Sunday Times found.

They stand to add £57,025 to their house price, a total of £5,459 profit.

Those in Canterbury could make £5,264 profit.

However, in some locations you stand to make a negligible amount. In Swindon in Wiltshire and Thanet in Kent Britons would only make £66 by expanding.

In Burnley, Lancashire homeowners could lose £11,820 by expanding - so doing the research is very important.

The Barclays UK Property Predictor claimed the average price in the area could jump from £228,876 to £237,115.

CEO Ray Withers of Property Frontiers said: "Steady, stable growth of this nature - in addition to the potential for decent rental yields - is precisely what investors are looking for from the UK property market right now.

“Property investment is about beating the Brexit uncertainty to find those pockets of the country where property markets are holding their nerve. That's why investors are turning to northern counties like Yorkshire."
