Research conducted by Bequests.co.uk has revealed the average size of property in the 33 Boroughs of London.

By looking at the average price per metre squared in the city, and the average house price, Bequests.co.uk have revealed the average size of property in the cities.

Properties in Kensington and Chelsea boast the largest footprint – but this comes with a hefty price tag. Property in the City of London is less than half the size of the aforementioned Borough, with just 56m2 to call home.

Here is the ranking for UK house footprints:

Reading has been revealed as the worst UK city to find a forever home. Owners will stay in their property for around 3 years, and the city comes in the bottom 10 for other factors such as percentage of schools rated good or outstanding, number of GP’s per 100,000 patients and recorded crime levels.

The cities where individuals are least likely to find their forever homes offer some of the smallest houses on average. Aberdeen homes have an average amount of space of just 44m2, however, they have a fairly cheap average house price of £188,431. The majority of houses bought in the 10 worst cities will be sold again in under four years.

Scotland does not fare well, with both Aberdeen and Edinburgh being in the bottom 10, the lack of high-quality secondary schools in the cities pay a large part of this. However, they do boast the highest rates of GP’s per 100,000 patients, with Aberdeen having 117 GP’s and Edinburgh 125. In contrast, the highest English city is Plymouth with 97 GP’s per 100,000 patients.
