A new study has revealed the best and worst UK regions for first-time buyers based on house affordability and earning potential, and it'd bad news for Brighton as it's named the most expensive area outside of London.

The study, conducted by free mortgage broker L&C Mortgages, analysed GOV.UK data on median earnings and average first-time buyer house prices per region, revealing the UK areas with the worst house price-to-income ratio - identifying the places with the greatest challenges in saving for a home.

The areas outside of London that rank within the top twenty-five most expensive regions include Brighton and Hove, East Surrey, Buckinghamshire County Council, West Essex, West Kent, West Surrey, and Bristol.

Notably, Brighton and Hove ranked twelfth, surpassing numerous locations in London, suggesting that getting onto the property ladder there is just as challenging as it is in London.
