BRADFORD has been named the most affordable place to buy a house in a new study.

Researchers from Buzz Capital calculated the disparity between average property price and the average salary for 50 cities across England. 

According to their data, Bradford has the smallest disparity between property cost and average yearly salary.

On average, Bradford employees receive £31,700 per year from work. This is 22 per cent of the average property price, which is £143, 960.

On behalf of Buzz Capital, Nicole France said: “Steeped in rich heritage and crammed with culture, Bradford is often underappreciated by visitors to Yorkshire.

“Bradford is the third largest city in Yorkshire and is popular with commuters, as it is situated between Manchester and Leeds.

"Described as something of a cultural melting pot, Bradford is incredibly diverse. One in four residents, in fact, describe themselves as being of Asian/British Asian origin."
