      Newspaper discovers something that has been a reality for many years now

      The prices are rising here now too, a lot faster than they were, it spreads, first the nice villages, then the market towns, and now the mill towns. My little terrace in a mill town has risen just over 15k in 2 years, and thats with all this credit crunch shit and they area is not far from Shamless standards, literally (near Burnley). The minimum wage singletons are now priced out up here more or less completely. Countey is fooked.

      Shit, Why don’t the government arrange them to poor and rough town so that it can rebuild those area?

      Don’t tell the southern softies, but house prices oop north are getting insane too.. try somewhere posh round manc or Leeds

    5. bowak on

      No shit. Not that it was already clear by 2017 at the latest in South Manchester.

      Go to Ancoats in Manchester, it’s been a gentrified southern enclave for years.

      No suprise considering how London councils are using the north as a dumping ground for people they don’t have homes for.

      It’s happening all over the UK, the property prices mean people are seeking out somewhere cheaper.

      Tbh it’s justification to build a new town or three from scratch.

      OK I’m going to ask the dumb question – where’s the jobs in the North to support that level of migration as every time you see the North on TV or some influencers YouTube channel it broadly looks like a shithole due to large parts of it being collapsed former mining or manufacturing industry towns that have been left to rot, have had economic migrants from whatever country dumped into one of the wards causing all manner of delightful local comflcts, local kids have gone feral (and not in a productive way) and large parts of the population are praying for salvation from 30p Lee, Farage and the man known as Tommy Robinson. What are they actually moving up North for?

      Fucking mental the amount of council housing in London, especially in really expensive areas. If people can’t work their housing should be way in the outskirts. It would leave more housing for workers that need to be in the centre

      In other news, water is wet and the sun will rise tomorrow.

      This has been a thing longer than I’ve been alive.

      Hey this is me! Must say the house prices are ridiculously cheaper, moving from a 3 bed(from Herts) to a 3 bed in the East Riding. Costs less than a third of the Herts place(more square footage in the East Riding). Streets are less busy, people are nice, and there’s less chains(I like this, you can get to know the people at the businesses you frequent).

      Lucky enough to be able to work from anywhere and the only thing I’ve really had to say goodbye to is 24 hour stuff like McD’s being a 5 min journey away. A blessing in disguise really.

      This makes me so sad because we Northerners are then pushed away to go somewhere else in North where prices are still affordable. There are houses in my street which were bought for 180k in 2019 now sold for 325-350k in Manchester. I don’t think I will have much luck buying house here anytime soon.

    15. Jay_6125 on

      Who cares. The market is going to crash soon anyway. Everyone in the city knows this.

      Scotland is cheap, and free university, prescriptions, plus other things.

      For free university you only need to be living there the day your course starts, and can move wherever you want after 😉

      Lots of investors are seeing this coming in have a friend who bought 15 properties up north around 2019 and all went up in value. All interest only buy to lets

    19. Valuable_Tomato_2854 on

      Nothing wrong with that, we moved to Scotland and bought a 2 bed house with a big summer house and space for 2 cars in the front yard, 40 mins from Edinburgh for 130k. We’re paying just under 600£, best decision ever.

    20. Astriania on

      Which means people who are actually local to those places are priced out by London money.

      And, of course, no mention of the effects of an increase in demand from having hundreds of thousands of people move to the country, many of whom want to move to London.

    21. Shoddy-Computer2377 on

      There are houses near where I lived in Norfolk that were on the market for £350k. You could buy a better house within striking distance of Newcastle for £300k.

      The £250k houses in Norfolk were £190k in Northumberland.

      This isn’t just a London thing.

    22. coffeewalnut05 on

      Not surprising, London and its satellites are completely unaffordable in so many areas now.

      It’s part of why I live in the north now too, everything is cheaper.

    23. JAD4995 on

      People who grew up in London are buying in Manchester working remote jobs on London wages and people who grew up in Manchester are buying in the cheaper parts of Cheshire (Crewe,Northwich , Parts of Macclesfield,Runcorn ) /West Yorkshire.

      It’s a big Joke but nothing surprises me anymore.

    24. Dordymechav on

      Yep, will definitely be doing the same when it comes to buying. Can’t afford to live anywhere near where I grew up. Not all of us down here are rich and posh. Most of us work normal jobs.

    25. Sinister_Grape on

      I mean, even in Liverpool house prices have gone mad over the past decade. And the price of a pint, for that matter.

    26. pajamakitten on

      Northerners were bragging about cheap housing and saying people who cannot afford to live in London/the south should move to cheaper areas. Now they are seeing what happens when people actually do that. It is why housebuilding is important across the country, otherwise small supplies and high demand push prices up and out of reach of locals everywhere.

    27. All-Day-stoner on

      Brought my first flat for £400k in London. To buy a house in the same location is around £800k.

      How the fuck do I double my budget by £400k!? It’s a fucking joke.

      Heads up, the third tap
      You guys have for prosecco is actually for gravy once you pass Birmingham.
