They do though, like those who can’t really afford to have a nice car but do, or those who can’t afford to holiday but do.

I grew up in Chorlton and went to secondary school in Sale. Chorlton was very different then to what it is now - we’re talking 20-30 years ago. I’d guess Sale hasn’t changed too much but haven’t been back in donkeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be looking at the “good” areas around towns like Bolton or Burnley for better value.

I think Chorlton was my most disliked place on manc when I lived there. Always felt like adults who wanted to still be students vibe.

It's not even close to what you'd pay in Bromley - even shite places like Wadden are pricey. I'm not moving to back to Bolton or for gods sake Burnley!

leigh white Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Worked at Chorlton in the mid 70s, the takeaway shops for fast food was about 5 years ahead for anything I've ever seen before. Caught up now in Leigh good style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a quick look what 600k would get you in Sale and Bromley. Might get an extra bedroom in Sale at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sale is the sort of place where footballers used to live, before megabucks led them to Alderley Edge. PS The village of AE was effectively named by the railways, as the station in what was then Chorley, Cheshire, was named after the neary landmark.
