Cheapest house prices in London are above £250,000

First time buyers in London have been dealt a new blow by a survey which shows even the cheapest house prices are above £250,000.

Figures from the Land Registry show the average house price in every London borough is in excess of a quarter of a million pounds.

Property prices are cheapest in the London borough of Barking and Dagenham where the average price is now £256, 556.

By contrast, the wealthiest area is Kensington and Chelsea where the average price is almost £1.4 million.
