Ten of the best ‘second stepper’ London homes on the market now — all under the average £583,450 price tag

Londoners paid £583,450 to take their second step on the housing ladder last year — a figure that has doubled in 12 years.

According to data from Hamptons, second-time buyers trying to move on from their first London homes may fall foul of a widening gap driven largely by the limited price growth of flats compared to houses.
