House prices in the UK have jumped by 74 per cent in the last 20 years, adding over £150,000 to the average property value, according to Zoopla.

The property website found that the typical house price has risen from £113,900 to £268,200 in the past two decades. However, sharp rises in some locations could mean that some people are priced out of the areas they grew up in.
