A village in Cumbria has been named one of the cheapest postcodes in the UK where the average house price is under £100,000.
With constant inflation rises, the opportunity for first-time buyers to get an affordable and reasonable mortgage offer is challenging.
This leaves people either not moving out at all or paying to rent a place instead.
Responding to this ongoing change, Online Marketing Surgery and Cardinal Steels have created their House Postcode Report, which ranks postcodes in Britain based on their average house price.
Hello & hope everyone’s enjoying weekend. 😃
