- In Scotland and the North, this budget can secure a four or five-bedroom house, with examples including a five-bedroom detached house in North Lanarkshire for £376,052.
- Conversely, in London and parts of the South East, the same amount typically only affords a studio or one-bedroom flat, such as a studio flat in Tower Hamlets for £357,556.
- HM Revenue and Customs figures indicate that UK home sales in May were 17% higher than the previous year, though 2% lower than the preceding month.
