Upminster (RM14 2) and Hornchurch (RM12 5) sit about 2.99 km apart, share the same dominant housing (semi-detached, typically built around 1940), comparable good-school catchments and the same level of station access. Yet an equivalent home works out roughly 20% (about £115,290 on a 90 m² property) cheaper in Hornchurch. On the measures that move price they are near-identical; the gap is mostly the premium attached to the better-known name.
Postcode sectors (e.g. N10 3) compared on estimated £/m² of floor space. A pair is only called a 'twin' when the two sectors share the dominant property type, build era (±30y), good-school catchment provision, station access, deprivation/tenure, education, age and home size, so the price gap reflects a name premium, not a different kind of area.
