House Prices,Altrincham,Ancoats

Here are the region's most sought-after areas where house hunters should look to buy their next home

Choosing where to live can be one of the most difficult decisions to make when it comes to buying a new home. There are so many factors to consider, from house price affordability and local amenities to proximity to top schools, green spaces and good transport links.

"House prices stay high and the housing volumes stay low but there really is something for everyone in Altrincham," says Gareth Yates, a personal estate agent who sells homes all across the region. "The Stamford Quarter has seen huge amounts of regeneration over the years which has made the main high street a thriving area with a range of independent and larger chains mixing perfectly as well as the Market House being a great spot to grab a bite to eat before heading over to the Everyman cinema for a film."

"Ancoats is within 10-minute walking distance to Piccadilly and on the doorstep of city centre amenities. The area is full of vibrant independent businesses, and a beloved spot for residents is Islington Marina, perfect for dog walkers or summer lunches." House prices in Chorlton are around 4 percent higher now than they were the previous year, with an average price of £386,653. The majority of sales in Chorlton Cum Hardy during the last year were semi-detached properties, selling for an average price of £493,895.

Lewis McLarty, manager at Ryder & Dutton’s Chadderton branch said: “Failsworth is a really popular spot in Manchester right now due to its excellent location and range of good schools. "Hulme’s prices have started to slow after a few years of rapid growth but don’t let that trick you, it still has plenty to offer," says Gareth Yates.

Lewis McLarty from Ryder & Dutton said: "New Moston boasts a huge range of different property types and offers good value for money, so it appeals to a wide variety of buyers, particularly first-time-buyers and young families. "Whilst Sale has always been popular, the suburb of Sale Moor has always lagged behind but not any more," he said. "Since the Metrolink came in on Sale Road, Sale Moor’s popularity has skyrocketed as it has all the features of Sale on its doorstep while maintaining the smaller village feel.

Stockport Named as one of the The Sunday Times' Best Places to Live for the last two years running, the region's property experts say that the buzz around Stockport isn't slowing down any time soon.
