Despite the current versatility of the house-buying market, the cost associated with buying a new home is not the most common concern when deciding whether to move or improve.
A new survey has revealed that 35% of UK households would consider moving out of the area they grew up in and into a more affordable area to get on the property ladder.
During the first six months of the year, the number of home moves recorded saw a rise of 10% with Greater London seeing the largest increase, according to new data released by Lloyds.
