The average home in Topsham, near Exeter in Devon, gives you 734 sq ft of living space for a \u00a3250,000 property<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

In an exercise replicating a Office of National Statistics<\/a> report published in 2017, that examined how much one square metre costs in different areas of England and Wales, an\u00a0online tool<\/a>\u00a0‘Swing-a-Cat’ reveals the price to space ratio of average properties across England. The tool has been created by the property website Bankrate (part of the Zoopla Property Group, along with Zoopla, uSwitch, Hometrack, and Money.co.uk).<\/p>\r\n

According to the analysis, the square footage of the average UK home is now 20% smaller than in the 1970s, the period during which Britain built the biggest houses, making the average home nowadays just 730 sq ft.<\/p>\r\n

The average house sold in England and Wales in 2016 had a floor area of 104 metres squared, that’s about two-fifths the size of a tennis court, or 70 times smaller than the football pitch at Wembley.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
