Buying a home within a reasonable budget can prove to be fairly difficult in the cost of living crisis. With house prices, energy costs and interest rates soaring, house hunters are now having to pay more for their homes than what they would usually consider to be affordable.
Across Greater Manchester the average cost of a home was recorded at £241,650 in September, according to the latest data from Rightmove. However, there are certain parts of the region where house prices are much lower than this and you can often buy a home for a bargain price.
In nine out of 10 boroughs, there are a considerable amount of areas where you can snap up a home for less than £200,000 - with house prices in some places even cheaper than £150,000.
