KEIGHLEY is in the pink.

The town – and 21 other towns and cities in West Yorkshire – have been given a Monopoly-style grading, based on the famous board game, to reflect their average property prices.

And Keighley, with an average of £157,117, would sit among Monopoly’s pink properties – which as fans of the traditional game will know, are Pall Mall, Whitehall and Northumberland Avenue.

Ranked alongside the town in the same category are Halifax (£159,689) and Liversedge (£157,956).

Below them in the price stakes are Castleford (£152,758), Dewsbury (£140,490) and Elland (£134,867) – equivalent to the light blue Pentonville Road, Euston Road and The Angel Islington in Monopoly.

And in the ‘most affordable’ section – on a par with the board game’s brown Whitechapel Road and Old Kent Road – are Batley (£132,718) and Bradford (£130,035).

At the top end of the scale, the equivalent of Monopoly’s Mayfair is Ilkley – with an average property price of £365,087.

PropertyHeads – a property social network – crunched the numbers to come-up with the Monopoly board equivalents using its own housing market data.

It ranked West Yorkshire’s 22 most populated towns and cities by their average sales prices for August.

Rental averages were also scrutinised, but weren’t given the Monopoly treatment.

Keighley’s rental figure was £503.

Ben Davis, founder and chief executive officer of PropertyHeads, said: “The housing market finds itself in an unprecedented position at the moment.

“We thought it would be interesting to look into how this is affecting West Yorkshire and provide important information in a fun and relatable way.

“Hopefully this gets a few conversations going within the community and we look forward to providing further updates in the future.”

Latest figures from the Land Registry show that house prices across the Bradford district as a whole have risen.

In April, the district-wide figure stood at £139,355 – a 2.1 per cent increase compared to March.

The picture was different across other parts of Yorkshire and the Humber, where the average price dropped by 0.1%, to £165,561. Nationally the figure was also down.
