Homes in Scotland and the north of England made up the majority of the list.
A L&C Mortgages spokesperson said: “This study reveals the cheapest cities to own a home throughout the nation.
"The research, which has considered monthly mortgage rates alongside utilities and council tax, shows that the least expensive cities are predominantly located in the nation’s northern regions.
