''Oddington beats the odds''

A list of places where the housing market is expected to avoid the effects of the credit crunch has been compiled by the Times.

Estate agents from around the country have come forward to promote the areas they believe have the "X-factor appeal".

According to the paper, properties outperforming the national average will not be confined to wealthy areas of the country.

Rupert Sweeting, of estate agency Knight Frank, told the news provider: "Villages like Oddington and Broadwell are holding up."

"These areas are the property equivalent of blue chip shares, mainly because they are close enough to London for weekends," he added.

Other areas expected to fare well include St John''s Wood in London, Taunton in Somerset, Warrington, Canterbury and Blackpool.

According to the Gazette, the retail sector in the town is also thriving after the opening of a £30 million shopping complex, which had 63,000 visitors last weekend.
