56. A good quiz with a few surprises and it's refreshingly short, unlike those clickbait ones on Facebook.

Frak, that depends on where in the constituency you live, and what you consider to be an "average house".
I suspect that many Lewes residents who live in relatively unimpressive 3-bed semis would be horrified if their property only sold for that figure, while other residents in parts of Newhaven (perhaps?), perhaps in similar-sized properties, would be fairly happy if theirs sold for that figure. Just proves how meaningless "average" figure can be when the spread of values used to generate the average is very wide.
What is worrying is that the BBC 'average' figure does show that two people on 'average' wage, with a scraped-together 10% deposit (some hope!), probably cannot afford anything like the average house... :-(
But then I guess any of us with youngsters trying to get on the property ladder probably already knew that.
