How far the average house price of £340,000 stretches across Chester

Property firm Savills has looked at how far the average house price of £340,837 could typically go in different nations and regions. It made the calculations by looking at how much space, in square feet, the average house price could typically buy across Britain.

While the average house price could buy a medium-size one bedroom flat in London typically, in some parts of central London – Kensington, the City of London and Westminster, and Chelsea and Fulham – it would only stretch to a studio apartment, researchers found.

At the other end of the spectrum, buyers could use the same amount of money to buy a large five-bedroom property in places such as Easington in Co Durham, Rhondda in South Wales, Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire and Walton in Liverpool.

Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills said: “Exactly what an average just shy of £341,000 can allow you to purchase varies dramatically across Great Britain, from a small studio flat in central London to a large four or five bedroom house in parts of north-east England. This has significant implications for who can buy where and, in turn, the pressures on different types and tenures of housing in different locations."

Using the average house price, Cheshire Live has looked at what you could potentially buy across Chester - and it ranges from terraced properties and townhouses to detached four-beds and 'perfect' family homes.
