Northern Mortgage Hotspots

2 December 2024

Six Northern cities have seen dramatic rises in mortgage searches, new analysis [1] has revealed. Leeds, Bradford, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, and Newcastle now account for almost 11% of all mortgage search activity, up by two-thirds on last year. Indeed, activity in these six cities is up 29.5% as a proportion of all searches.

The figures suggest that more buyers, especially first-timers, may be considering more affordable housing options outside London.
