Buying beats renting in 94% of UK towns
15th December 2011- Buying property more attractive than it has ever been compared to renting
- Renting now 15% more expensive than owning on average across Britain
- Swansea, Plymouth and Bournemouth only places where renting rules
- Renters in London pay £6,888 p.a more on average than homeowners

Some men you just can't reach.
