Anyone got a graph?

Looking for something comparing the cost of renting to buying over the last few years.

Something like this, but for the UK.

Anyone?

no graph but:

Current figures for my flat in Guildford.
rent 700
mortgage 1089

1994 Stoke on trent (identical 3 bed houses)
rent 250
mortgage 250

and it will depend where. House prices have not (yet) gone silly in the Northeast, Wales, NI or most of the midlands)
