Homes outlook brighter for workers
Key workers stand a much better chance of getting on the property ladder than they did five years ago - but only if they live outside the south of England, a report has revealed.
Four in 10 towns are now affordable for nurses, teachers and other key workers, compared with 2007 when there were just 12 towns, according to the Halifax Key Worker Housing Review. However, the figures are yet to return to the level of a decade ago when more than half of towns were affordable.
