BRIGHTON and Hove has been named as one of the most difficult places in the UK to get on the property ladder.

This made it the fourth most difficult place to buy a house in the UK, behind London, Oxford and Cambridge.
With an average house price of £771,903, the average time it took to save up for a ten per cent deposit on a home in London was 24 years and ten months.
The average house price in Brighton was £425,443.
