Blackburn house surveys homebuyer surveyor

Recent data from Zoopla has confirmed that Blackburn has recently seen one of the highest rates of property growth in the UK. In Blackburn, the average house price has increased by over 5% year-on-year, rising faster than many regions in the South. These figures represent strong local market activity and reflects growing demand and increasing buyer confidence in the area. Furthermore, Darwen has also recently been named as one of the top 10 places to live by Rightmove.

So what’s fuelling this surge in demand? One potential explanation is that buyers are being priced out of major cities like Manchester and Liverpool and are turning to more affordable locations in Lancashire as a smart alternative.

With rising house prices and soaring rents in urban centres, many first-time buyers, families and professionals are seeking value without sacrificing lifestyle. Blackburn offers exactly that…combining competitive property prices with excellent transport links, making it an ideal base for commuters.

Another thing that sets Blackburn apart is the quality of life on offer. Nestled close to rolling countryside and outdoor beauty, the town provides a rare balance of accessibility to urban jobs alongside immediate access to nature.

Many of the local towns and villages in Blackburn and Darwen maintain a strong sense of community that can’t always be found in larger urban areas. For many buyers, this social fabric is just as valuable as the property itself.
