Abstract
This paper examines the view put forward by OWEN and GREEN [ Geoforum, 20, 107–126 (1989)] that the structure of the housing market in Britain has restricted long-distance, employment-related migration. It is argued that, while the evidence does indicate that there may at times be blockages to long-distance migration caused by the existence of large absolute interregional house price differences, the precise nature of the link between the housing and labour markets is complex and variable. This is particularly evident when data on house prices, purchaser characteristics and employer recruitment difficulties are considered at a local level.
