According to Savills (The estate agency) house prices when the Queen ascended to the throne in 1952 were just under £2000, this is the equivalent of £56,000 today. The average house price in Wales is £206,000, the average house price in the UK is £277,000.

It seems to me and a lot of people my age that systematically things are just getting worse and worse, and I'm saying this as someone who has benefitted from house price increases. I feel for younger ones trying to get on the property ladder now.
