It's all going to end in tears. Many people have been forced onto the housing ladder through fear that if they didn't they would not be able to afford a house full stop. They are stretching themselves to the hilt.

Accrington prices have shot up mainly because we are close to Manchester and have good motorway links. I travel the M66 to Manchester everyday and have done for 17years. It used to be a quiet motorway but in the last couple of years there has been a very marked increase in traffic. Prices are cheaper here than Sth Manchester so its an obvious place to set up home.
