Being in one of the least affordable local authority regions of the South West could be seen as adding to its exclusivity. A few years ago when we asked about affordable housing in the South Hams, the person we spoke to didn’t know what we meant – not suprising really, as its second on the list of least affordable local authority region in the South West. Here’s the top (or bottom) 15.
- Cotswolds, Gloucestershire: £351,051 (19.2 x £18,330 average income)
- South Hams, Devon: £323,360 (16.7 x £19,328 average income)
