Bargain £125k house with large garden in one of Greater Manchester's most sought-after areas

A bargain house has come up for grabs in an area which has been named one of Greater Manchester's most sought-after places to live. Our exclusive analysis of the latest Land Registry data revealed five parts of the region which have seen house prices soar over the last year.

Rising house prices are often caused by high demand and low supply, meaning sellers can afford to price their homes higher if properties are flying off the market in their local area.

Ashton-in-Makerfield was named one of the region's top five sought-after areas this year after rising by 6.6. percent, and was also named Greater Manchester's property hotspot of the year in 2023 after house prices soared by 12 percent.
