Lancashire’s property market is attracting more attention than ever. Over the past year, the region has experienced steady growth across several key areas, with many towns outperforming national trends. At Lea Hough Chartered Surveyors, we’ve seen first-hand how the appeal of Lancashire’s mix of affordability, lifestyle and location is drawing in a diverse range of buyers.
While house prices have climbed across the UK, Lancashire continues to represent strong value. In areas such as Lancaster, Preston and Chorley, buyers can still secure spacious family homes for prices that remain well below the national average. This affordability is a major draw for first-time buyers, young families and even those relocating from neighbouring cities like Manchester and Liverpool in search of more space and a better quality of life.
In addition to offering better value, parts of Lancashire are recording impressive levels of growth. Both towns and rural areas are benefiting from renewed confidence in the region, with some districts reporting double-digit increases in average sale prices over the past year.
Lifestyle, connectivity and long-term appeal
Beyond affordability, lifestyle is playing a huge role in Lancashire’s growing popularity. The county’s blend of countryside, coastline and thriving market towns offers something for everyone. From the Ribble Valley’s scenery to the seaside charm of Lytham St Annes, Lancashire provides a varied choice of living environments and all within reach of major transport links.
For many, this balance is what seals the deal. People can enjoy a slower pace of life and a stronger sense of community without sacrificing the motorway and rail networks which make commuting straightforward.
For buyers, Lancashire presents both opportunity and competition. The region’s relative affordability means buyers can often stretch their budgets further, However, with growing demand, the best properties don’t stay on the market for long. Now more than ever, securing a professional survey is essential to ensure that a property represents not just a good price, but good value in the long term.
