Homeowners might think their investment is safe as houses.

But when it comes to house price growth, not all postcodes were created equal.

A list of 31 areas where house prices are set to rocket in the next five years has been put together by an estate agent.

And, perhaps unsurprisingly, Greater London, the South East and commuter areas dominate the list.

The research looked at how each local authority performed in terms of house price changes between 1995 and 2000, 2005 and 2005 and then 2005 and 2015.

Savills used this data to help identify areas that it believes will see house prices increase by 20 per cent in the next five years.

The fastest growing area in the top 31 between 2005 and 2015 was Bromley, in Greater London, where house prices surged 63 per cent to £443,767.

Harrow, also in Greater London, was another fast grower – with the average price growing 59 per cent to £464,990.

The Greater London boroughs of Sutton, Hillingdon, Watford, Croydon and Enfield were also among the fastest growing in the list of top places to buy.
