A March 2022 survey from Rightmove has concluded that the average house price in the UK has reached record levels across the country with properties in Salford following the trend.

The Rightmove survey reads: “Overall, sold prices in Salford over the last year were 4% up on the previous year and 17% up on the 2019 peak of £186,815.”
The drastic increase is as a result of the huge contrast between supply and demand in the UK, with almost double the amount of buyers compared to sellers.
