The average requiredin July 2008 was 28,751,so things have got a lit-t l e e a si e r i n t h e l a stthree years.

B as ed o n a ve ra gemonthly running costsassociated with living ina t w o -be dro o m fl a t,Halifax says a first-timebuyer could expect topay 567 on a mortgage -and 677 to rent it.

That's a gap of 110 infavour of the buyer, andfollows the fall in theaverage mortgage ratet o a c u r r e n t 3. 84 pe rcent .

By contrast, in sum-mer 2008, the averagecost of buying was infact 29 per cent (212)more than the averagerent paid, and the aver-age mortgage rate was5.91 per cent.

Homes have also gotsignificantly cheapersince mid-2008, with thea ve ra ge h o u se pr i ced o wn 1 4 p e r c e nt t o124,378.

Because of the need forsuch large deposits, thenumber of first-timebu yer s h a s a c t ua l l yp l un g ed s i nc e 2 0 08 ;there were just 84,000 int h e fi r st h a l f o f t h i syear, some 23 per centfewer than in the sameperiod in 2008.

Halifax says the cost ofbuying would be broad-ly in line with the costof renting if the Bank ofEngland base rate roseby 1.5 per cent above itscurrent historic low of0.5 per cent. This wouldput average monthlymortgage costs at 681,slightly above average

rents.Halifax housing econo-

mist Suren Thiru says:The recent decline inthe cost of buying forfirst-time buyers com-pa r e d t o r e n t i n g h a sbeen substantial andreflects the drop in bothm o rt g ag e r a te s a n dhouse prices since 2008,a s w e l l a s a m a r k e dincrease in average rentpaid over the past year.However, while these

affordability gains arewelcome, conditions inthe housing market fort h o se l o o k in g t o ge tonto the property lad-der remain challenging.Difficulties in raising adeposit and current eco-nomic uncertainty arelikely to mean that anumber of first-timebu ye rs e n t er i n g t h emarket will remain sub-dued in the near term.

As a general rule, thefurther north you go,the more you save bybu yi ng a s o ppo se d t orenting.

In the north, the aver-age buying cost is 383and the average rentcost 456 a 16 per centsaving.
