This very different from what you usually tell us about house prices
up north.

Why is that?

Even with the 100% increase they're still cheap compared to most of
the rest of England. It is still possible to buy a 3 bed house for
£70,000 in Driffield but that's still above alot of peoples incomes
here.


But people on that kind of money have *never* been able to afford to buy
houses. Such a house could easily be bought by a couple earning £23,000 pa
between them, which is not a lot of money.
