Market towns more expensive than neighbours
Those hoping to find an affordable mortgage may be interested in new figures indicating some of the most expensive property is to be found in market towns.
Statistics from mortgage lender Halifax correlated with Land Registry data show the majority of English market towns have higher house prices than neighbouring towns.
More than half of England`s market towns – those which have a population of between 3,000 and 30,000 and have been defined by the Campaign to Protect Rural England – have recorded house price growth above the English average in the past five years.
