Winchester has leapfrogged Oxford to become the UK’s least affordable city to buy a home, says a survey.

Emma Seaton moved from Wandsworth in south London to a village just outside Winchester to get various benefits for her family while her husband could still commute to London.

"The villages surrounding the city boast thriving communities with busy shops and pubs and the schools are excellent, and we also enjoy easy access to the coast, the New Forest and the ancient capital of Wessex." "Winchester is more manageable than Oxford, which is often snarled up with traffic, making it a nicer city to live in."There is some good news: in one in nine UK cities, property has become more affordable in the last 12 months.

According to the figures, Carlisle and Aberdeen are now more affordable than five years ago, while Inverness is the only city more affordable than 10 years ago.
