The Lancashire mill town boasts cheap house prices, affordable rent costs and gorgeous countryside views
It is no secret that the property market in Manchester is red-hot with fierce competition amongst both buyers and renters. High demand and a lack of supply has caused house prices to skyrocket, with rent costs also at an all-time high.
The biggest benefit of all is that houses prices and rent costs are considerably cheaper than Manchester, which is within commuting distance. The average cost of a house is just £153,250, and Zoopla recently named Burnley as the second cheapest area to rent in the UK - with the average rent just £507.
"A train from Manchester Road station in Burnley takes less than an hour to get into central Manchester and with the M65 motorway network on our doorstep, a drive can even be less than that. He said: "I just came here and went 'oh my god I can buy four houses for £60,000', it was nuts. It's becoming more expensive now but it's still nowhere near Manchester prices.
"The local authority have just began their ‘Town to Turf’ plan which is going to completely redevelop the town centre and bridge the gap between it and Turf Moor . Properties you can buy in Burnley One noticeable difference in the housing stock in Burnley in comparison to Manchester is the style of properties it offers. The vast majority of homes were built around the late 19th century to house workers for the local cotton mills.
It's also set in a convenient location, tucked away on a quiet street but within walking distance to transport links into Burnley and Padiham town centres. On the first floor are three generously sized bedrooms, one being the master which boasts an en-suite, and a contemporary family bathroom. The sprawling house comes complete with five reception rooms, including a spacious open-plan kitchen dining area, eight double bedrooms with five bathrooms, a swimming pool, gym, cinema, games room, bar and an orangery.
"I certainly don’t envy tenants trying to find rented accommodation in the area, its hard….block viewings often have 5-10 applicants attending and landlords are often getting a choice of applicant."Even cheaper than the average rent cost in Burnley is this one-bed studio situated in the heart of the town, available to rent for £400 per month.
The property, which comes unfurnished, was renovated last year with a fresh lick of paint and new carpets installed throughout.
