property prices in Bristol<\/a> are also significantly higher than the national average. The average sale price of a house in Bristol was \u00a3392,949 over the last year, according to property website Rightmove.<\/p>\nThe Office for National Statistics puts the average house price in Bristol slightly lower, at \u00a3354,000. Either way, property prices in our city far outstrip the UK average, which is \u00a3273,000, according to the ONS.<\/p>\n
We decided to take a look at a selection of 25 areas around Bristol to see what household income would be required to buy an ‘average’ property in each location. We calculated this based on the assumption mortgage providers will typically lend 4.5 times a borrower’s annual income.<\/p>\n
Based on the Rightmove figure, you would need an household income of \u00a387,322<\/strong> to be able to afford the average house in Bristol. Taking a deeper look into figures for certain areas lays bare just how inaccessible the property ladder is for so many in the city.<\/p>\nPlease note, all below figures are according to Rightmove and were correct at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
