London is the most expensive place in the UK to buy a property – no surprises there – with Zoopla putting the average house price in the city at more than £530,000.

Outside the capital, prices remain highest in southeast England, with the university cities of Oxford and Cambridge topping the price index. Meanwhile, Glasgow and Newcastle score highly for affordable options, at £153,000 and £157,600 respectively, according to Zoopla's most recent housing price index.
