英国百万房产富翁往往聚集在伦敦和东南部地区,这里拥有英国最昂贵的房子。但随着房地产市场价格继续上涨,房地产财富逐渐遍布整个英国。
英格兰东南区,截止至2014年1月的一年内,售价100万英镑以上的房产交易额达到44亿英镑——不包括伦敦,与此同时,英格兰东部房产交易额超过13亿英镑。
英格兰东部
据房地产咨询公司莱坊集团(Knight Frank)最新研究显示,这个地区得益于伦敦人口过剩和比如萨里(Surrey)等东南部县更高的房价,售价超过100万英镑房产成交量达到954 套, 是英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰销售量最高的地区。
不包括伦敦和东南地区,新兴百万房地产热点地区位于英格兰东部圣奥尔本斯(St Albans),2014年,售价100万英镑以上的房产交易额达到 2.17亿英镑。
“在过去的十年中,圣奥尔本斯房产市场充满活力,而且不断增长,”莱坊集团房产中介奥利弗·比尔(Oliver Beales)说。
“这里的特色和公园吸引了寻找差价的伦敦买家。伦敦圣潘克拉斯铁路建成使得人们通勤更为快捷,加上这个地区的州立和私立学校得分很高。我们看到相当一部分伦敦买家正在利用这些优点,从而推动了该地区房产价格。”
西南部

巴斯(Bath )及萨默塞东北部(North East Somerset )是西南地区百万房产最大集聚地,成交额高达1.28亿英镑。
莱坊房地产经纪人查理·泰勒(Charlie Taylor)说,与圣奥尔本斯不同,巴斯并没有受益于通勤人口过剩,而人们选择在这里居住和工作,或去布里斯托尔(Bristol)旅游。
“巴斯2014年交易额大涨。因为电气化铁路即将开通,我们看到更多的人从伦敦搬到这个地区,”他说。
西北
受日益繁荣的曼彻斯特(Manchester)抬高房价驱动,西北地区是百万英镑房产交易额第三高的地区 ,成交量166笔,交易额高达2.48亿英镑。
柴郡东部地区(Cheshire East)百万英镑房产销售额达到1.07 亿英镑,几乎是整个西北地区的一半,显示局部房地产财富和其他地区之间的巨大差距。
受爱丁堡活跃的房地产市场驱动,苏格兰百万英镑房产销售额直逼2.40亿英镑。而整个威尔士地区成交量最低,仅仅完成11笔百万英镑房产交易。

Britain's £1m property hotspots - not where you would expect
Property millionaires tend to congregate in London and the South East, home to the most expensive houses in Britain, but as prices continue to rise pockets of housing market wealth are developing across the UK.
While £4.4bn worth of residential property deals on homes sold at more than £1m were completed in the South East - excluding London - in the 12 months to January 2014, £1.3bn of transactions occurred in the East of England.
East of England
This region, benefitting from the London overspill and better value than counties in the South East such as Surrey, had 954 £1m plus sales and was the highest performing region in England, Wales and Scotland, according to new research from the estate agents, Knight Frank.
Excluding London and the South East the new, emerging millionaire property hotspot was St Albans, classified as within the East of England, in which £217m worth of £1m plus sales were completed in 2014.
"St Albans has been a vibrant and growing market for the past decade, " said Oliver Beales, an agent at Knight Frank.
"Its character and parks have attracted London buyers looking to benefit from the price gap. With the London St Pancras rail link providing a fast commute and both state and independent schools in the area scoring very highly. We have seen a regular stream of London buyers taking advantages of these attributes and therefore driving the price in the area.”
South West
Behind the East of England, the research, which analysed the UK regions to find millionaire hotspots outside London and the South East, found that the South West had the second highest number of £1m plus sales in 2014 with a total value of £740m worth of property changing hands.
Within the South West, the area of Bath and North East Somerset was home to the biggest cluster of property millionaires, doing £128m of deals.
Unlike St Albans, Bath does not benefit from an overflow of commuters, rather people are choosing to live and work there or travel to Bristol, said Charlie Taylor, an estate agent at Knight Frank.
“Bath has had a strong year and with the electrification of the train line happening in due course, we have seen more people move from London to the area," he said.
North West
The North West was the third best performing region with the growing prosperity of Manchester driving up house prices - 166 deals were completed totalling £248m.
The area of Cheshire East saw the most £1m plus sales in the region with £107m done in total - almost half the value across the whole of the North West, showing the gulf between localised areas of property wealth and the rest of the region.
Nearly £240m worth of deals were completed in Scotland, driven by the buoyant housing market in Edinburgh, while the entire country of Wales saw the smallest number and value of deals with just 11 property sales worth more than £1m recorded.
There were 11 sales above the £1m mark in Wales compared to 2849 in the South East - this equates to a total sales value of £14m compared to £4.4bn.
