A new report ranks postcodes in Shropshire based on their average house price, revealing the cheapest and most expensive places to live in the county.

With constant inflation rises, the opportunity for first time buyers to get a mortgage offer that is affordable and reasonable is extremely difficult. This is leaving people either not moving out at all or paying to rent a place instead.

Responding to this ongoing change, Cardinal Steels and Online Marketing Surgery have created their House Price Report, which helped us rank areas in Shropshire based on their average house price.
