Most Affordable Postcodes in South East
Ordered by the median price of homes sold in each postcode sector, cheapest first.
What this ranks on: the median price of homes sold in each sector in the last full year, cheapest first. That is price, not affordability: no local earnings figure is involved, and the mix of homes that happened to sell differs between sectors. It is not a judgement about where is a good place to live, and AreaIQ Places does not score areas. Search sold prices (HM Land Registry) →
