2019/2020 Affordable House Prices in UK Cities

We have analysed average house price and salary data for cities. It can reveal that Oxford is the most overpriced city in England where house prices would need to fall by 70%, for someone with a 20% deposit earning an average wage, to afford to buy. In comparison to our 2018 House Price Affordability Index where Oxford house prices needed to fall by 65% to become affordability.

For the second year running, Durham was the only city where houses are 'affordable' to buy. In Durham, house prices could rise by 16% and still be affordable for someone on an average wage with a 20% deposit and a mortgage of 3.5 times salary.
