Average price up 16% since start of year in Manchester suburb transformed into urban village
Eccles, on the west side of Manchester, has been named as the property hot spot of 2020, with prices rising faster than anywhere else in Britain, according to the property website Rightmove.
Centred around Monton Road, the once nondescript suburb has been transformed into an urban village thanks in part to improved Metrolink tram connections and the BBC moving many of its operations to nearby Salford.
