What it costs to live in the Greater Manchester town dubbed 'the new Berlin'

To the south of Manchester lies a bustling town that has been in the spotlight over the last few years. What was once an 'underinvested' Greater Manchester area has now been named one of the 'coolest places to live in the UK' thanks to a major £1bn regeneration project that is now underway.

Buying in Stockport Properties in Stockport sold for an average price of £289,412 over the last year. The majority of sales were semi-detached homes, selling for an average price of £310,417. Terraced properties sold for an average of £226,782, with detached properties fetching £487,159. One of the cheapest currently up for sale in the new development is this one-bed flat, which is priced at £71,600 as part of an affordable housing scheme. The 'move-in ready' new build apartment is discounted on the market, allowing buyers to own a property in the historic building at 57% of the open market value - but it states 'criteria does apply'.

The lovely character home sits on a 'popular street' in Offerton and is an ideal location for young professionals looking to have easy access into the town centre. The home itself has a cosy lounge, a kitchen breakfast room to the rear, two good size bedrooms and a family bathroom. Renting in Stockport Rents in Stockport have soared over the last year, with the average rent now costing £1,014 per month, an increase of 10.2 percent in the last 12 months.
