The ten most sought-after neighbourhoods for buyers…

Top spot: Didsbury, Greater Manchester

The housing market is busier than ever with a record number of buyers wanting to move.

The good news is that in the past two months we’re now seeing more homes coming up for sale – more than 260,000 new sellers came to market in the last two months alone.

But if you’re looking to buy a home, you’ll still need to be ready to move more quickly than ever before.

Five neighbourhoods in Greater Manchester feature on the list, with the suburb of Didsbury taking top spot.

Didsbury is less than five miles from Manchester city centre and one of the most expensive suburbs in the county.

The average asking price in Didsbury is £367,429, which is more than £130,000 higher than the Greater Manchester average of £237,380.

This leafy neighbourhood is popular with buyers who are looking for family-sized detached houses with big, private gardens close to the well-rated local schools. There’s also a mix of Victorian cottages and terraced houses, traditional semi’s and new-build flats and townhouses.

There’s also a thriving café culture in Didsbury, with a great choice of specialist shops for foodies and popular local restaurants, bars and pubs.
