The price of Bristol property may have risen considerably over the last decade, new figures suggest.
Produced by Halifax, they show that despite recent declines in house values caused by the ongoing credit crunch, the UK's residential sector has seen prices double in real terms during the last ten years.
It revealed that, whereas the average domicile was worth £81,596 in 1999, this had increased to £167,020 in the last quarter of 2010.
This was the largest rise in any ten-year period over the last half a century, Halifax claimed.
"The noughties was a significant decade for house prices," stated housing economist at the firm Martin Ellis.
He added: "Overall, prices increased considerably despite the marked decline towards the end of the decade."
Earlier this month, editor of Your Mortgage Paula John said that the property market was buoyed last month by the provision of more competitive deals being offered to consumers.
