TV homes unaffordable for shows’ characters

Halifax has published a “light hearted look at house prices” which ranks the cost of residential property in a number of areas home to TV soaps. The average price of a home in Albert Square, home to EastEnders, is up 923% since the show began 30 years ago. A home in Coronation Street, on the other hand, has risen from £19,097 in 1984 to £128,626. The research also considered whether characters featuring on the shows would be able to afford a modern home on their salaries, finding that in most cases they would find it extremely difficult.
