'No better place': The 9 hottest postcodes in the North West where it is easiest to sell your house

A weather report-style map, produced by TheAdvisory, ranks areas according to how hot the property market is there.

The hotter the market, the more demand there is for houses there and the quicker your home is likely to sell.

The colder the market, the lower the demand and the longer a typical property will take to sell.

Its latest forecast for the North West shows that the ‘hottest’ postcode district is the CA1 area of Carlisle, in Cumbria.

Carlisle is proving an increasingly popular choice for families, in particular, as a peaceful, yet relatively affordable place to live, with beautiful walks on your doorstep and decent transport links to major cities.

One person who lives there said they ‘can't recommend it enough’, while another told how ‘the scenery is gorgeous and it’s a lovely place’.

A third person said ‘there’s no better place to bring up a family’.

Four of the nine hottest postcode areas are in Liverpool, according to the latest PropCast report, with two in Greater Manchester.
