Worcester's most and least expensive streets revealed - do you spot yours?
Worcester's most and least expensive streets have been revealed as part of a new data analysis.
Property Solvers has tracked average sold price data from HM Land Registry since 2020 to see where the highest and lowest-priced homes are located across the Worcester postcodes.
A top 10 for the most expensive streets and a top 10 for the cheapest streets over the past five years have been created as a result.
St Georges Square (WR1 1HX) was found to be the most expensive street in the area, with five properties selling for an average of £859,000.
Britannia Square (WR1 3DH) was runner up, with three properties selling for an average of £833,333 in the same timeframe.
Northwick Close (WR3 7EF) was the third most expensive as four homes sold for an average of £826,250.
Homenash House (WR1 1RG) was found to be the cheapest street in Worcester over the last five years, with 16 properties selling for an average of £74,656.
The runner up was Bridge Street (WR1 3NJ) with six properties selling for an average of £76,416.
Brook Street (WR1 1JB) was the third cheapest street, as 34 properties sold for an average of £87,455 in the last five years.
Commenting on the data, Property Solvers co-founder Ruban Selvanayagam, said: 'To keep the data less skewed, we only ranked the streets that had over three sales.
'It's therefore worth noting that, in recent years, a property on Northwick Road (WR3) sold for £1,675,000 and, at the other end of the market, there were properties that sold for £56,250 and under on Barbourne Works (WR3), Gheluvelt Court (WR3) and Fairmount Road (WR3).'
On average, properties in Worcester sold for £292,938 in the last year, according to Rightmove.

5 AI stocks to consider buying and holding for the long term
Many AI applications are still in development, offering ground-floor buying opportunities in their stocks. Below are some established companies that five of contract writers like as investments to consider buying to capitalise on this transformational technology. What it does: Alphabet is a global technology company best known for Google, YouTube, Android, and cloud services. By Mark Hartley. When considering an AI investment for the long term, Google's parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) stands out. It has emerged as a key player in the AI space, leveraging its vast data resources and computational power to dig deep roots into the industry. Through DeepMind and its Gemini AI models, Alphabet is at the forefront of generative AI development. Google Cloud offers scalable AI tools and infrastructure for businesses, while AI enhancements in products like Search, Gmail, and YouTube are well-positioned to benefit from advertising revenue. Alphabet's expansive ecosystem gives it a strategic advantage in training and deploying AI models at scale. A significant risk, however, lies in the potential disruption of its core search business. As AI chatbots and generative search become more prevalent, traditional search advertising could face margin pressure. Additionally, if faces increased regulatory scrutiny on data usage, antitrust concerns and competition from rivals like Microsoft and Amazon. Mark Hartley doesn't own shares in any of the stocks mentioned. What it does: Cellebrite is the global leader in decrypting mobile phones and other devices supporting digital forensic investigations. By Zaven Boyrazian. Many AI stocks today are unproven. That's why I prefer established players leveraging AI to improve their existing mission-critical products like Cellebrite (NASDAQ:CLBT). Cellebrite specialises in extracting encrypted data from mobile phones and other devices aiding law enforcement and enterprises in criminal and cybersecurity investigations. Over 90% of crime commited today has a digital element. And when it comes to decrypting mobile phones, Cellebrite is the global gold standard. The company is now leveraging AI to analyse encrypted data – drastically accelerating a task that's historically been increadibly labour intensive identifying patterns, discovering connections, and establishing leads. Most of Cellebrite's revenue comes from law enforcement, exposing Cellebrite to the risk of budget cuts. In fact, fears of lower US federal spending is why the stock dropped sharply in early 2025. And with a premium valuation, investors can expect more volatility moving forward. But in the long run, Cellebrite has what it takes to be an AI winner in my mind. That's why I've already bought shares. Zaven Boyrazian owns shares in Cellebrite. What it does: Dell Technologies provides a broad range of IT products and services and is an influential player in AI. By Royston Wild. Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) isn't one of the more fashionable names in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). The good news is that this means it trades at a whopping discount to many of its peers. For this financial year (to January 2026), City analysts think earnings will soar 41% year on year, leaving it on a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 12.6 times. Such readings are as rare as hen's teeth in the high-growth tech industry. In addition, Dell shares also trade on a price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio of 0.3 for this year. Any reading below 1 implies a share is undervalued. These modest readings fail to reflect the exceptional progress the company's making in AI, in my opinion. Indeed, Dell last month raised guidance for the current quarter as it announced 'unprecedented demand for our AI-optimised servers' during January-March. It booked $12.1bn in AI orders in the last quarter alone, beating the entire total for the last financial year. Dell is a major supplier of server infrastructure that let Nvidia's high-power chips do their thing. Dell's shares could sink if unfavourable developments in the ongoing tariff wars transpire. But the company's low valuation could help limit the scale of any falls. Royston Wild does not own shares in Dell or Nvidia. What it does: Salesforce is a customer relationship management (CRM) software company that is developing AI agents. By Edward Sheldon, CFA. We've all seen the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years. Using apps like ChatGPT and Gemini, we can do a lot of amazing things today. These apps are just the start of the AI story, however. I expect the next chapter to be about AI agents – software programmes that can complete tasks autonomously and increase business productivity exponentially. One company that is active in this space is Salesforce (NYSE: CRM). It's a CRM software company that has recently developed an agentic AI offering for businesses called 'Agentforce'. It's still early days here. But already the company is having a lot of success with this offering, having signed up 8,000 customers since the product's launch last October. Now, Salesforce is not the only company developing AI agents. So, competition from rivals is a risk. I like the fact that the company's software is already embedded in over 150,000 organisations worldwide though. This could potentially give it a major competitive advantage in the agentic AI race. Edward Sheldon has positions in Salesforce. What it does: Salesforce is a cloud-based software company specialising in customer relationship management, helping businesses manage sales, marketing, support, and data. By Ben McPoland. I think Salefsforce (NYSE: CRM) looks well set up to benefit in the age of AI. Specifically, its Agentforce platform, which lets businesses deploy AI agents to handle various tasks, could be the company's next big growth engine. By the end of April, it had already closed over 8,000 deals, just six months after launching Agentforce. Half of those were paid deals, taking its combined data cloud and AI annual recurring revenue above $1bn. Granted, that looks like small potatoes set against the $41.2bn in sales it's expected to generate this fiscal year. But it's still very early days, and management reckons the digital labour market opportunity could run into the trillions of dollars. Of course, it's always best to treat such mind-boggling projections with a healthy dose of scepticism. And the company does face stiff competition in the AI agent space, especially from Microsoft and ServiceNow. Nevertheless, I'm bullish here. Salesforce is already deeply embedded in sales, service, and marketing. Its AI agents slot into existing workflows, which I think will prove to be a big advantage over unproven AI upstarts.

£200m written off - lessons Everton must learn in pivotal summer
Everton manager David Moyes will lead the club into their new stadium in 2025-26 [Getty Images] On 11 January, David Moyes was appointed Everton manager for a second spell following the sacking of Sean Dyche, with the club one point above the relegation zone. They ended the campaign in 13th place, 23 points clear of the bottom three. After recent years of points deductions and relegation battles, there is hope that the return of Moyes, new owners and the move to a new 52,888-seater stadium can lead to a brighter future for the Toffees. Advertisement With the feeling of a fresh new start across all aspects of the club, BBC Sport looks at the lessons that must be learned this summer as they prepare to begin life at Bramley-Moore Dock. £200m worth of signings leave for free Everton are currently navigating their first summer transfer window under the ownership of the Friedkin Group, who bought the club for in excess of £400m in December. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire estimates that Everton will have between £50m-100m to spend in this summer transfer window – a dramatic increase in contrast to the past four seasons when the club has essentially spent nothing, totalling £85.5m of profit from player trading. Advertisement Such frugality has been a consequence of reckless financial planning that led to Profit and Sustainability Regulation (PSR) breaches, two points deductions and narrow escapes from relegation. Everton must now learn from past mistakes in terms of getting value for money. The near nine-year ownership of Farhad Moshiri, who bought a majority shareholding in 2016, was marred by a scattergun transfer policy and merry-go-round of seven permanent managers which saw Everton splurge money on inflated fees and huge contracts. Abdoulaye Doucoure's decision to reject a new deal in May means that eight players signed for at least £20m during Moshiri's reign have now left for nothing, effectively writing off £188m in transfer fees. Advertisement Should out-of-contract defender Michael Keane, signed from Burnley for an initial £25m in 2017, also depart this summer, that figure will climb well past £200m. Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman believes it's something that "must improve" going forward. "It's not ideal when you're paying for a player and getting no return," he said. "It's been a difficult 10 years with regards to bringing players in and moving them on for a profit, but that's an awful lot of money to spend on players to see them walk away." £25m for two Premier League starts Jean-Philippe Gbamin played just six Premier League games for Everton after joining in a £25m deal from Mainz in 2019 [Getty Images] Of the big money signings who left for nothing, midfielder Doucoure was arguably the best value, making 149 Premier League appearances and scoring the goal that ensured Everton's Premier League survival in 2023. Advertisement The other end of this particular spectrum is more congested, including the injury-plagued Jean-Philippe Gbamin, who made just two league starts after joining from Mainz for £25m before leaving for the French second tier four years later. Yannick Bolasie, who cost £25m from Crystal Palace, scored two Premier League goals before being loaned out four times and then leaving for free. Cenk Tosun scored five goals in 14 games after joining for £27m but then made 14 starts in the subsequent four seasons as he was loaned out to Palace and Besiktas. The theme is clear: when Everton have had larger sums of money available, they have often spent it poorly, a failing that cannot be repeated if the Toffees are to build towards the European football that Moyes has said he craves. A dozen set to depart Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is yet to sign a new deal with his current contract set to expire in July [Getty Images] There have been transfer successes since the more chaotic days of Moshiri's ownership. Advertisement Jake O'Brien and Iliman Ndiaye, both signed last summer for initial fees of under £17m, have been prudent investments – although both purchases had to be funded by the £50m sale of Belgium international Amadou Onana to Aston Villa. Everton's ability to recruit effectively, and Moyes' savviness in the transfer market, will be tested by the necessity to overhaul an entire squad, with 12 players, including 10 from the first team, out of contract this summer. Captain Seamus Coleman and midfielder Idrissa Gueye are in negotiations to extend their current deals, although striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin could yet leave the club, along with Keane. Ashley Young and Doucoure have already confirmed their departures, along with back-up goalkeepers Asmir Begovic and Joao Virginia, while loanees Jack Harrison, Jesper Lindstrom, Orel Mangala and Armando Broja have returned to their parent clubs. Advertisement Everton confirmed the permanent signing of Carlos Alcaraz for £12.5m in May but major gaps still exist in terms of goals, creativity and depth. Osman, who made 437 appearances for the club between 2003 and 2016, believes that the exodus provides an opportunity for a "fresh start". "This is where we build from," said the 44-year-old. "Everton have had so many managers over the years and so many different styles of player who play different systems. David Moyes knows what Everton are." 'A demanding dressing room' Leon Osman played for David Moyes at Everton between 2003 and 2013 [Getty Images] Patience may be required for any rebuild as the Friedkin Group continues to navigate the implications of PSR. Advertisement The club's most recent accounts for 2023-24 show a loss of £53.2m, a reduction of £36m on the previous year, while revenue rose by 9% to £187m – an encouraging picture although one that means that money must still be spent wisely. Osman, who was given his Everton debut by Moyes in 2003, believes that Everton must retain key players such as Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski and Jordan Pickford, while recruiting more leaders to bolster a rapidly thinning squad. "A Moyes dressing room is hard, demanding," he said. "Having spoke to a couple of the squad, they love the clarity and what he's asking of them. "A manager has to ask for that level and he always did that when I played for him. You also look at O'Brien, who has excelled at right-back when people thought he couldn't do it. We need to make sure these people stay on the pitch." Advertisement The failed pursuit of new Chelsea striker Liam Delap, who was spoken to by Moyes, shows that centre-forward - and more goals in the team - is a priority, along with a right-back, right-winger and central midfielder. Departures, though, mean that recruitment is needed in almost every position to provide squad depth. The club are reportedly interested in Villareal striker Thierno Barry, who is currently playing for France in the European Under-21 Championship. Everton have taken steps to streamline their process, moving away from a director-of-football model following the departure of Kevin Thelwell to a sports leadership team headed by new chief executive Angus Kinnear. He has said that Everton will utilise experts in data and analytics, football operations, recruitment, talent ID and player trading as part of the club's evolving approach. Advertisement Kinnear has also already met with supporters group the Fan Advisory Board – a far removal from the previous regime when former manager Dyche described communicating with then-owner Moshiri by "Whatsapp and the odd phone call". Osman has backed the new structure to succeed and added: "It's time to get behind the new hierarchy and I expect they would lean into Moyes' experience as much as they can. I trust David Moyes more than anyone."
