Statistics Project to Compare House Prices

Comparison of House Prices' in two areas:

Hypothesis:

I believe that the house prices in the Consett area will be more

expensive that the house prices in the Washington area.

Introduction:

I obtained a list of seventy houses for each area. I decided to do

seventy, as I felt I would obtain a more accurate reading for my

report. I attained my information from the internet, from various

estate agents sites, www.harrington-brown.co.uk and

www.Pattinson.co.uk . I have enclosed a copy of the houses, three from

each area, the cheapest, the most expensive and a middle priced house,

to show as examples.

The reason I chose Consett was because I have recently moved to this

area, and I felt it would be a good idea to gain the knowledge of the

houses prices in and around my area. I chose Washington because I used

to live there. I felt it would be quite interesting to be able to

compare the prices of the two areas that I have lived in.

Another reason why I chose these areas is that, they are both outside

of Newcastle City Centre, about the same distance away, just in

opposite directions. So I felt that the prices would be valued at

around the same market prices for both areas. As you tend to find the

closer to the city centre you get, the more expensive the house, even

though the house may be smaller, have no garden and possibly be even a

worse area and state of house. I also found that the houses in the

Consett area seem to be bigger inside and also have more space on the

outside (gardens), this would obviously indicate that Consett is more

rural that Washington.

I also looked at the schooling in both areas, one, because I had been

to schools in Washington and two, my son is attending school in

Consett. I found that in both areas infant and junior schools were off

a very high standard, but senior schools in the Consett area were more
