There’s a rise in people leaving Manchester for a Yorkshire suburb because you get ‘more for your money’, according to locals. Birchencliffe, in the centre of Huddersfield, is said to be up-and-coming with new-build estates springing up to house families.
One estate agent says house prices have rocketed in the past few months in the area - which recently welcomed Samuel L Jackson while he was filming for a new Marvel series. And so the M.E.N's sister title, Yorkshire Live spent a day in the suburb to see what life is really like in the area - and why some Mancunians are apparently keen to live there.
Claire Ramsbottom, of Peter David Properties, has worked in Birchencliffe for three years. She claims the relatively short commute is drawing people who work in Greater Manchester and have been priced out of the region.
