From lawyers to deposits and mortgage approvals, buying a home can be a stressful process.
But on top of all that, those looking to buy a home in 2022 have an extra hurdle to overcome. Since pandemic restrictions ended, the housing market has become significantly more competitive – with the number of buyers fighting for homes increasing in one area above all others.
Chorlton saw the biggest rise in buyer competitiveness over the last year, according to Rightmove. Buyer competition in the south Manchester suburb has increased by 138 per cent, with the average asking price now standing at £355,306.
