Pyrotechnic Property Values
November 3, 2009
With Bonfire night round the corner, we’ve compiled a list of hot areas where the fireworks have already gone off.
Here are the top ten areas where property values have rocketed over the last 6 months. The question is, will these areas sustain these gains, or will these gunpowder propelled property prices fall back down to earth?
We also took this opportunity to showcase our extensive and explosive fireworks knowledge (thank you Wikipedia).
Do you know your hummer from your horsetail or your dahlia from your diadem?
1. Mines in Midlothian – 10.49%
A mine is a ground firework that expels stars into the sky. Shot from a mortar like a shell, a mine consists of a canister with the lift charge on the bottom with the effects placed on top.

2. Horsetails in Hereford – 9.60%
Called Horsetails due to the shape of its break, this shell features heavy long-burning tailed stars that only travel a short distance from the shell burst before free-falling to the ground.
A Dahlia is Peony shell, but with fewer and larger stars. These stars travel a longer-than-usual distance from the shell break before burning out.
Spiders contain a fast burning tailed or charcoal star that is burst very hard so that the stars travel in a straight and flat trajectory before burning out.
5. Chrysanthemums in Cardiff – 7.43%
A spherical break of colored stars, similar to a peony, but with stars that leave a visible trail of sparks.
6. Bees in Buckinghamshire – 7.30%
The effect caused by stars swarming around.

7. Sparklers in Stirling – 6.57%
A handheld stick like firework that burns over a long period of time (up to a minute) and produces a brilliant shower of sparks!
9. Catherine Wheels in Cumbria – 6.38%
It consists of a powder-filled spiral tube, or an angled rocket mounted with a pin through its centre. When ignited, it rotates quickly, producing a display of sparks and coloured flame.
10. Hummers in Hertfordshire – 6.25%
Tiny tube fireworks that are ejected into the air spinning with such force that they shred their outer coating, in doing so they whizz and hum.
