House prices in the UK have climbed for the fifth month in a row and have now reached a new record high. The average price of a property across the country is now £368,614 according to Rightmove, which has gone up by £1,113 in the last month.
With the cost of living crisis putting a strain on our finances, buying a house at this price is considered unaffordable for many. Thankfully in Greater Manchester there are some cheaper areas where house hunters can find a home for much less than the average house price.
You can typically expect to buy a home for a much more reasonable price in the boroughs of Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale and Wigan, as these are considered the cheapest areas to live. However there are bargains to be had across the whole of Greater Manchester.
