Average house prices for First Time Buyers

We know it can be hard to tell whether this is the right time to buy, and whether the prices you're looking at in your area are a good deal. So we've created a First Time Buyer Moving Intelligence Hub - just pick the area and it'll tell you if prices are going up or down, what the average price is, and how many purchases are by First Time Buyers.

What people are saying about our first time buyer's guide:

As a first time buyer I didn't know where to start and where would be the best place to get quotes for a homebuyer report. A work colleague recommended reallymoving.com and it was so simple and quick process to use. I would recommend using this website to anyone else who is moving too.
