Greater Manchester area named 'most expensive' for first-time buyers - and it's not Manchester

One Greater Manchester area has been named the 'most expensive' place in the north west for first-time buyers today. With house prices continuing to rise over the last year, getting a foot on the property ladder is becoming more and more difficult.

Location plays a big part in affordability, with some areas offering cheaper house prices than others. Many first-time buyers want to live in the north west, from its lively city centres to its friendly towns and villages.

But if you’re looking to settle down in this region, it’s worth noting that some areas offer significantly better value for your first home than others.

The team at mortgage brokers Better.co.uk have analysed the cost of buying a first home in the major north west areas, ranking them from most to least expensive.
