The average spend by a first time buyer across England stands at £205,246. Average house prices in Aldridge, Pelsall and Streetly all stand above the average first time buyer rate and the West Midlands average.
Indeed, in the case of two of the proposed sites (Aldridge Road/Queslett Road East and Stonnall Road) average prices based on the West Midlands average are between 51% and 110% higher.
Several of the current proposed sites will not manage to meet the stated objectives in these strategic priorities, they could in fact further fuel levels of unaffordability as this proposed plan will not provide the necessary housing mix.
