A NEW interactive map shows how much you need to earn per hour to buy a house in each of Britain’s postcodes.
Even if you aren't thinking of buying, or moving, seeing where you can – and can’t – afford to live is fascinating.
Each pin shown by your search represents a postcode and shows how much you’d need to earn per hour to buy a property there.
In Swindon the main postcodes and their costs are:
SN2 £12.85
SN1 £13.50
SN3 £16.28
SN25 £16.32
SN5 £16.37
SN4 £19.80
SN6 £21.93
SN26 £28.57
In Royal Wootton Bassett (SN4) you need to earn £19.80 and hour while in Chippenham costs range from £19.81 to £22.29.
In Devizes (SN10) you can expect to have to earn £19.10 and hour while in Marlborough (SN8) a heady £31.73 is needed.
The figures are based on a single person working a 37.5-hour week and mortgage repayments being 35% of the income.
The site also ranks postcodes by cheapest and most expensive in an area.
