Bury is the place to Buy a Flat

As the Manchester property boom spills out to neighbouring areas, Bury has become popular among commuters thanks to its buoyant property market and easy access to the Metrolink and motorways.
 
As well as, Bury itself has reaped the benefits of the town centre’s Rock shopping and entertainment centre, bringing shoppers into the town. Therefore, Bury could be the ideal place to make your home.

Price to buy a flat in Bury

House prices are so high at the moment, and it’s a real struggle for first-time buyers to find the money they need to put a deposit down on a house. So, many young people live with their parents into their late 20s and early 30s to save money on rent and pull together the money they need for a deposit. Your priority is getting on the property ladder, and buying a flat is the easiest way. Our residential property agents Bury are here to help you achieve this.

Also, to buy or rent a flat in Bury will be cheaper than buying or renting in Manchester City Centre. Indeed Bury is only approximately 8 miles north of Manchester City Centre with good transport links, with the motorway and Metrolink to Manchester. Additionally, the benefits of having a mix of urban and rural areas. Such as, towards the north, you have Ramsbottom and Holcombe Hill, and as you move towards Manchester, there is Whitefield and Prestwich.

Cost involved when living in a flat

If you’re looking to buy a flat in Bury, there can sometimes be fewer costs than buying a house. For instance, a home will have more space, meaning more work will need to be done. A smaller flat will be much cheaper to maintain properly than a house. Especially anything to do with the structure of the building, as the freehold owner handles this.

buy a flat in Bury for Security

Security is a big concern for homeowners, especially if they are living in the city. Compared to a house, a flat is so much more secure. Often having a main gate to get through before you get to the building. Then they’ll have to get through the main doors of the building before reaching your front door than getting through that as well.

Also, with other flats in the hallway, it is a deterrent for somebody to break in. However, you might not be as safe if your apartment is on the ground floor, butusually  a flat is far more secure than a house.
