Number of Towns Affordable to First Time Buyers is at Its Highest Since 2003

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 07:00:00 GMT

The Halifax First Time Buyer Review tracks housing affordability in nearly 250 local authority districts (including 31 London boroughs) across the UK. A local authority district (LAD) is classified as affordable if the average house price for a FTB is lower than the price someone on average earnings in the area can pay based on the historical average house price to income ratio of 4.0 (see Editors' Notes for details). The calculation is based on a single income and is, therefore, conservative. The review is based on data from the Halifax's own extensive housing statistics database, along with data from the Council of Mortgage Lenders, the Office for National Statistics and the Department for Communities and Local Government. Halifax is the UK's biggest provider of FTB mortgages.
