“Truro tops the South West list as the seventh least affordable – though many non-city areas could lay claim to worse affordability – with a ratio of 9.11.
It is followed in tenth place by Exeter where average house prices now stand at 8.36 times average earnings.
Devon and Cornwall’s only other city, Plymouth, was not featured in the top fifteen least or most affordable cities.
Affordability in UK cities is, on average, now at its worst level since the average house price to earnings ratio rose to 7.2 at the height of the last housing market boom in 2008.”
