Most affordable house prices in 25 years

WHAT a difference a burst property bubble makes?

While much of the decade was all about exorbitant house prices, latest figures show prices are now at their most affordable in more than 25 years.

The EBS/DKM economic consultants affordability index show that while prices today are on average three times higher than they were in the mid-1980s, house-owners are using less of their finances to pay their mortgage than at any point over the past 25 years.
