The survey found that 68% of London homeowners disagree with the statement ‘House prices in London represent good value for money’.

A higher proportion of female homeowners (76%) disagreed with this statement, with 58% of male homeowners shareing the same sentiment.

74% of renters in London disagree with the statement ‘The cost of renting in London represents good value for money’. Renters who worked full time were most disgruntled as 80% chose to disagree with the aforementioned statement.

However, over half of homeowners and renters in London (54% and 52% respectively) agree with the statement ‘At the moment, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in the UK’.
