With constant inflation rises, the opportunity for first time buyers to get a mortgage offer that is affordable and reasonable is extremely difficult.
This is leaving people either not moving out at all or paying to rent a place instead.
Responding to this ongoing change, Cardinal Steels and Online Marketing Surgery have created their House Price Report, which helped us rank districts in Sussex based on their average house price.
This determined the cheapest and most expensive areas to buy a property in the county.
Here are the latest house prices ranked across Sussex, showing the cheapest to most expensive towns to buy a property.
