Slightly further out of your preferred area is Blackburn.... I personally know a chap who is looking to sell a 2 bed semi with offroad parking for 2 vehicles, back garden boundary is a large drop into the leeds/Liverpool canal.
5 minutes walk from train station, direct trains to Victoria..
Valued at £82.5K, would sell £74K(ish)
Would get your money back easy or rent at £450 - £475 pcm

Not too long back you could buy a whole street in Accrington/Oswaldtwistle etc for £80k! 
RP - If you're looking at buying and with around £85k I reckon Eccles/Peel Green or Irlams o' th' Height are decent bets and you should be able to get a half decent 2 bed terrace in either of those areas for that sort of money (The Height might just be slightly higher tho). Plenty of storage for the bike then as well in the spare room and you won't have to ar$e about lugging it up 3 flights of stairs in an apartment block (as I do!). Good transport links for both areas too. The bonus of Eccles/Peel Green is walking distance to home matches!
Anyway, I'm sure you've had a look at Rightmove but here's what you get for under £90k in each area....
Peel Green - www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for ... PerPage=50
The Height/Eccles Old Road - www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for ... nel=buying
The Harvard Grove apartments on the 2nd link are decent (top of Weaste Lane opposite Buile Hill Park) and would be a prime renter if you decide to keep hold and let out with Salford Royal being just down the road.
Anyway, there's my two penneth. Having been an (don't  me!) Estate Agent a few years ago I still get a little carried away when drawn into a discussion about property! |

| Solly - How things change 'ey!
JGR - Most informative, thanks. Like you say, as we're looking at renting it out we could be OK. All very useful information though.
PC1972 - Thanks for this. Sounds like a great deal but we currently live in Ashton U L and are looking to move closer to town so it's not really suitable. Thanks nonetheless.
SS - Above and beyond again, thanks. From your responses I could tell you worked in the field.
It seems our target budget might be fractionally ambitious for the areas we're aiming for. Feel free to offer other nuggets of info though!
Just to bring it back a bit, can anyone tell me what life is like in Weaste, Seedley or Langworthy these days? Surely someone lives there or has London taken over courtesy of Media City? |

Blackburn must be a magnet: you can get to it from Manchester Victotia by train using either of two different routes! One (the new route) even passes through Rochdale and Burnley.

Well the area is as quiet and less troublesome as I can ever remember it. So that is one thing. The top end, Buile Hill Park etc., and Salford Quays is good for a stroll or jogging.
The only mither is that there isn’t much about in regards to services. You can get by for pubs, eating out, the odd bits and pieces of shopping. However, by and large, you’ll be travelling out, either to Salford Precinct, Eccles, Quays and further afield to do stuff or get stuff done.
Decent for commuting, although buses are limited at the bottom end and the tram trawling through the Quays might do your nut in after a while. The 10 (bottom end) & 67 (top end) buses run until gone 11, so you’ll be fine getting home from Salford matches. |
