On the market for an affordable property?

There’s no denying that getting on the ladder can be costly and you have to pay close attention to the property markets in order to nab a bargain.

This is especially true during the pandemic, where house prices have been steadily increasing in the area since May 2020.

However, a great place to start your search is in the 'reduced' section on Zoopla.

Here are five fantasitc East Lancashire properties which have seen their asking price slashed since first being listed- could one of them be your next dream home?

£113,498

Out of every Zoopla property listed for sale on Zoopla, this Clitheroe property has seen a whopping 50 per cent price reduction since first being listed; the last reduction took place on January 5th.

The three bedroom home has a lot to offer any prospective buyers, especially those on the market for a new build property.

However, it’s worth noting that the price displayed only represents a 50 per cent share.

The kitchen/ dining room is the focal point of this property and the room’s French doors open out onto a private rear garden.

The master bedroom of this property even has an enviable en suite.

This Rossendale home has seen an overall price reduction of 42 per cent since first being listed for £280,000 in July 2020.

Since then, the property’s price has been slashed by thousands on three separate occasions.

However, if you are on the hunt for a character with plenty of property then this could be the one for you.

It requires a little updating and modernisation but the four bedroom home could be beautiful after a lick of paint.

For the eco-conscious buyers, this property also has solar panels to the rear which can help produce energy for your home.

Best of all, planning permission has been granted to build a workshop in the property- ideal for those working from home.

This two bedroom property was first listed for £85,000 back in July 2020.

Since then, its price has been reduced on three separate occasions; in total, £20,000 has been knocked off the original asking price.

This would be a great starter property for first time buyers and it would even make a fantastic investment property for landlords.

The house is being sold via auction- are you going to place a bid?
