Updated on 07 August 2008
New figures released exclusively to Channel 4 News show just how severely some towns are suffering from the housing market slump.
The place worst affected appears to be Tamworth in the West Midlands.
New figures from the credit agency Experian show that the number of house sales this spring had dropped a staggering 52.9 per cent from the same period in 2006.
As part of the Generation Next season Bridgid Nzekwu has been to Tamworth with journalism graduate Anila Khanna as her producer to see how businesses in the housing industry are struggling to survive.
