BARNSLEY bucked the trend as house prices dropped in the town despite rising elsewhere in Yorkshire.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics show the average Barnsley house price in the year to November was £171,191 – a 0.7 per cent decrease on October.
The picture was different to that across Yorkshire and the Humber, where prices increased by 0.8 per cent.
The drop in Barnsley does not reverse the longer-term trend in the area, which has seen property prices in the area grow by 1.9 per cent over the last year.
