Bradford one of UK's top housing hotspots with prices up 51
Rightmove said Manchester’s average asking price rose 63% in 10 years, while London gained 7% and regional cities led growth.
- Manchester has emerged as Britain's top city for house price growth, with average asking prices surging 63% over the past decade to £261,891, according to property portal Rightmove.
- By contrast, London languishes at the bottom of the rankings with only a 7% increase, remaining the UK's most expensive city at £687,080 despite slower growth over the same period.

- While price gains benefit existing homeowners, NAEA Propertymark president Mary-Lou Press warned that 'increasing housing supply will be essential to maintain accessibility' for first-time buyers in increasingly expensive regional hubs.
- Affordability will remain central to future housing demand, as areas combining strong economic fundamentals with transport links are likely to stay attractive amid the broader north-south divide reshaping the UK market.
