Waitrose effect

Proximity to a supermarket has been widely reported[31][32][33] to be an amenity that can have a significant effect on residential property prices in Britain. Beginning under Andy Hulme[34] and continuing under Mike Songer,[35] the home mortgage unit of Lloyds Bank has published pricing research that examines the premiums commanded by homes in a given neighbourhood against comparables in the same post-code and correlates the difference in price with convenience of access to the various supermarkets. The following table averages information from neighbourhoods across England and Wales, compiled by Lloyds Bank for their 2016 report using supermarket location information from CACI Datalab and house price information from the UK Land Registry.[36]
