The average home in Northern Ireland now costs £195,936, according to the latest UK House Price Index.
But prices in the country’s most sought-after neighbourhoods can easily reach seven digits, while in the cheapest areas a typical home costs less than £100,000.
The NI House Price Map shows not just which neighbourhoods have the highest and lowest house prices, but where you will find the cheapest and most expensive homes per square metre.
We have scoured the data to find the nine postcode areas within Northern Ireland with the lowest property prices per square metre.
Our list uses the lowest figure for a specific postcode within each postcode area.
Even if a postcode area appears numerous times in the list of most expensive specific postcodes, we have only included the lowest figure for that postcode area.
We have ranked the areas according to how much cheaper they are per square metre than the Northern Ireland average.
This roughly corresponds to the areas with the cheapest homes, but the average house price is sometimes driven down because houses tend to be smaller in that area.
In one postcode, a typical home costs £1,477 per square metre less than the Northern Ireland average.
The NI House Price Map takes the 2005 valuations from Land & Property Services to give a more localised breakdown and updates them to reflect modern values using the latest Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) Northern Ireland House Price Index.
Values are only calculated for postcodes with at least 10 properties in the LPS data.
