First-time buyers are having a hard time finding homes amid the cost of living crisis. As house prices are amongst the many things that are constantly climbing, new house hunters are being priced out of market and are therefore struggling to get a foot on the property ladder.
With affordability and location the main factors in helping first-time buyers choose where to live, one Greater Manchester postcode has suddenly become a hotspot for those searching for a starter home. In the last month, Purplebricks has noticed an influx of first-time buyers flocking to M14, which covers the areas of Rusholme and Fallowfield.
The estate agents say that buyer activity in the south Manchester area is "crazy" at the moment, with countless viewing requests and offers being put in for properties - which are then flying off the market within a matter of days.
