THERE’S no denying that getting on the property ladder can be expensive.
However, the latest data suggests that the average UK house price has surged by £20,000 in the space of a year.
House prices increased by 8.6% over the year to February, marking the highest annual rate of growth since October 2014, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
The North West was the English region with the highest annual growth in average house prices (11.9%).
Therefore, we need to do whatever we can to nab a house at bargain price- that includes shopping around in the most affordable areas.
