'I bought a cheap £74,000 flat and transformed it'

With house prices shooting up, you now have to pay a fair bit more for house or apartment in Greater Manchester than you would a few years back.

Mum-of-one Becky, who works as a hairdresser, moved from her hometown of Bolton to Salford due to work, and managed to get herself on the property ladder at just 22-years-old.
