Market towns, often sought after for their charm, convenience, and strong community spirit, are proving increasingly costly for first-time buyers, with average property prices now reaching £280,582.
Across England and Wales, the typical amount paid by first-time buyers for a home in these desirable locations has climbed by 2 per cent annually and a significant 26 per cent since 2020, according to Lloyds, which used data from Halifax.
