House prices have skyrocketed over the last few years making it even more difficult for first-time buyers to get a foot on the property ladder. But as the saying goes, location, location, location remains the number one rule when it comes to finding somewhere that is affordable on today's property market.
The stark difference in house prices across the North West is quite simply mindboggling. Properties that are almost identical can increase or decrease drastically in value depending on where you are looking to live.
Our new series, Where I Live, takes our readers inside a different home in the North West region each week to look around, see who lives there, find out how much their home cost and how they made it their own.
