These are estimates using typical prices and rents for each whole local authority area, not for a particular street or town. Buying assumes a lender willing to lend 4.5 times income and a deposit of at least 10%. Renting assumes you spend the share of income you choose on rent. Real lending and rents depend on your circumstances and on the home. This is not financial advice.
