After coming across a property listing for a house in Surrey going for a whopping price tag of £30M, we decided to investigate where the highest average price of properties to buy and rent were in the UK. Unsurprisingly, many were to be found in London but a few, as we've highlighted below, were further afield.

- North London (£804,618)
- Kingston Upon Thames (£702,596)
- Slough (£673,152)
- Twickenham (£617,148)
