Buying a property is particularly difficult for first-time buyers and low income households in today's climate. With the cost of living crisis causing both mortgage rates and house prices to rise, it is no surprise that many people aren't able to get on the property ladder.
The average house price in Greater Manchester as of March 2023 is now £257,437 according to Rightmove, but thankfully there are some parts of the region where houses are priced much more affordably.
If you're looking for a home that costs much less than the average house price, the best areas to look are in the boroughs of Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham and Wigan, where houses are generally much cheaper to buy.
