In contrast, Oldham’s property prices skyrocketed by 8.3%, making the average home there £206,000—one of the largest increases in the UK. Wigan and Tameside also saw decent rises, with prices going up by 5.8% and 5.6%, respectively. Other boroughs like Bolton and Bury enjoyed price hikes of 3% and 3.4%.
