House price win or lose

Property prices in the UK almost doubled during the last decade - despite the recent house price crash - according to new data.

The typical home's value soared by a massive 91% - or £78,000 - between 2000 and 2010, according to the Halifax, meaning the average home jumped from £86,095 to £164,310.

But the rate of growth differs drastically when you look at the data on a regional level. To reveal the areas where house prices have risen the fastest - and the slowest - over the decade click http://money.uk.msn.com/msn-local/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=156044344
