HM Land Registry · average house price June 2026, median full-time annual pay 2025 · Local authority

The average house price in each local authority divided by the median annual pay of full-time employees living there: how many years of the middle full-time salary the average home costs. Both figures are published; the division is a Civometry calculation, and every area shows its arithmetic.
