It is no secret that the property market in Manchester is red-hot with fierce competition amongst both buyers and renters. High demand and a lack of supply has caused house prices to skyrocket, with rent costs also at an all-time high.
Those buying a property in Manchester today can expect to pay around £286,000 on average, with the standard monthly rent for tenants now at £978 - an increase of a whopping 14.4 percent in the last year alone.
With these costs becoming all the more unaffordable, those living in Manchester would be forgiven for looking elsewhere - and one nearby Lancashire town is ticking all the right boxes.
