With constant inflation rises, the opportunity for first time buyers to get a mortgage offer that is affordable and reasonable is extremely difficult. 

This is leaving people either not moving out at all or paying to rent a place instead.

Responding to this ongoing change, Cardinal Steels and Online Marketing Surgery have created their House Price Report to rank areas in Lancashire based on their average house price.

Accrington and the BB5 postcode is the cheapest area in Lancashire to buy a property with an average price of £130,059.
