Mortgage Comparison: UK: Aberdeen vs UK: Dudley!

Welcome to today's daily mortgage comparison! Giving you mortgage comparisons from two of the biggest cities in the UK!

Now here we have the UK, city of Aberdeen!,
Aberdeen is Scotland's third most populous city, one of Scotland's 32 local government council areas and the United Kingdom's 25th most populous city, with an official population estimate of 210,400.
Nicknames include the Granite City, the Grey City and the Silver City with the Golden Sands. During the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries, Aberdeen's buildings incorporated locally quarried grey granite, whose mica deposits sparkle like silver.


Average House Price: £185,000
Average Mortgage:  £191,000



VS 


And here we have the UK, the city of Dudley!
Dudley is a large town in the West Midlands, England. At the 2001 census (according to the Office of National Statistics), the Dudley 'Urban Sub Area' (of the West Midlands) had a population of 194,919, making it the 26th largest settlement in England and measured by Urban Sub-Area, the second largest town in the United Kingdom, behind Reading and the largest settlement in the UK without its own university. (There are some who question this figure since it can only be attained by including localities such as Brierley Hill, Kingswinford, Netherton, Sedgley, and Coseley, which are sometimes considered to be outside of the town by local newspapers such as the Dudley News, local historians and Dudley Council itself [3][4][5] ). Another estimate of the population of Dudley Town may be taken from adding together the populations of the three electoral wards that indisputably belong to the town, namely: Castle and Priory, St James's and St Thomas's. This would yield a population of 39,686.
Average House Price: £184,000
Average Mortgage:  £191,000
