Cameron's hometown booms as easy finance raises prices
Nov house prices climb in all of the UK's regions for first time in over 6 years
[LONDON] Peter Saunders had to stretch his resources to buy a house this year in UK Prime Minister David Cameron's constituency town of Witney, where values have risen at twice the UK average over the last three months.
The 27-year-old hotel manager said he needed money from an inheritance as well as a mortgage to afford the £200,000 (S$410,000) Witney home in Oxfordshire.
The market town, which has a 13th-Century church at its centre, is surrounded by rolling hills and farms.
