House Price Investigation
To investigate the main hypothesis, the 2nd of the 3 sub-hypothesis is “House Prices increase with the distance from the city centre.” To test this hypothesis, I made use of the internet to find out the prices according to each zone from this site – . The method I used was as following: - firstly, I went on the site and clicked on search, afterwards I came across Figure 1.
After that, I typed the names of the streets that I was going to use to find out their average house price I used 10 streets from each zone to find out the average house price total. I worked with 10 streets because it’s a sufficient number as anything lower would be inadequate to get a decent average. Also it covers most of the zone so I don’t get biased results. After that, I typed in the town/city, which was Leicester. Lastly for the country, I clicked on the option given which was England & Wales because Leicester in situated in England.
