Habito CEO Daniel Hegarty said: ‘House price growth in the south east is now starting to slow, which could be good news for first-time buyers.

‘While The Sunday Times Best Places to Live looks beyond house prices, we know that the process of getting a mortgage means that finding a dream home can be a nightmare.’

The Sunday Times’ home editor Helen Davies said: ‘There is much to celebrate, and Britain is scattered with thriving towns and villages, cool cities and suburbs, though people may be surprised how many traditional favourites haven’t made the cut in 2018.’
