Best Value Map in England & Wales?

Is thisthe best we can do, until basic property information is more reliable and freely available?

The map, by David Holloway using data originally from the Land Registry, shows the approximate cost of land for housing in each local authority area in England and Wales. The figures are adjusted by Duncan Elliott for regional construction costs and make some allowance for the mix of house types sold in each area during the period reported on (in this case 4Q 2002).

The data model mapped here has also been used to generate a '3D' image: the Landvaluescape. However the method is still under development. Similar techniques will be applied to the land parcel site values in the Oxfordshire LVT Trial area - see www.oxonlvt.org.uk
