This very busy screen image shows a patchwork of red, pink and blue areas of varying shades overlaying a map of part of the north of England. At the top there are 4 buttons and the text ‘Select transparency level’ with a button for 0%, 30%, 60% and 100%. Under that are radio buttons with the text ‘Select data’ with a button each for the following choices:

  • Average values
  • New builds
  • 1 yr growth
  • 5 yr growth (selected)
  • 10 yr growth
  • Crime rate

On the map town names can be faintly seen. At the bottom a key shows the percentage house price growth relating to each colour. From the left, yellow indicates no data, dark blue minus 10% through various shades of blue to pale pink for 3% up to dark red for greater than 20%.
