More Results From the eMoov Valentines’ Survey
The eMoov online estate agency has compiled a list of statistics for people to look at on Valentine’s Day (what could possibly be more exciting for young couples to do on such a romantic day!) in order to determine the different locations around the country that would be an affordable place for young couples to settle down and begin a famiglia. It is clear not just from the survey but also from pure common sense that the City of London is not a place that many people in this country would have the money to currently move into: the fact is that the crazy house market has gone off the charts and into the alien stratosphere in another galaxy far far away.
For many young couples in this country, the very fact that the average price of a home in London is currently valued at £790,439 is so astronomical means that they would be better inclined to look to other parts of the country where the rates of home ownership are slightly less above sea level. Whilst the West Midlands ranks as the most affordable region for young couples to buy a home, there are other areas that are similarly affordable such as West Yorkshire and along the banks of the Mersey, where the average home prices range from £10,330 to nearly £14.6 thousand in the West Yorkshire region, home to such places as Leeds and Huddersfield for those reading this who have never travelled north of Watford.
Indeed, the correlation between the increased amounts of registered births and the lower the average house price in the Northern regions indicates that couples are much more likely to feel that they are able to afford to start a family in areas where the cost of buying a home is cheaper. Of course, if there was less of a stigma against council housing and if property and development sectors devoted more funds to building homes for the country’s current and future citizens, then who knows, perhaps maybe (just maybe) the country might not be in such a housing crisis as it is in today.
