So, if you’re curious what’s catching the nation’s attention—or fancy comparing with what’s on your own street—here’s what got people clicking in June.
Cosy Cottage Charm in Wakefield Takes the Top Spot
At number one is a two-bedroom cottage-style home tucked away on Sandy Lane in Middlestown, Wakefield.
With its classic layout spread over two floors and plenty of room to stretch out, it didn’t take long for this gem to be snapped up.
Wakefield is no stranger to fame—home to art legends Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore—and its convenient links to Leeds and Manchester make it a commuter’s dream.
The average home here sits at £194,224, up more than £10,000 over the past year.
For locals earning around £34,000 annually, that means mortgage payments of about £862 a month—if you’ve got a 20% deposit and a 25-year term at 4.5%.

The home was priced at £190,000, well above the local average of £144,171.
For someone earning Stoke’s average salary of £30,520, mortgage payments would hover around £844 a month.
