With average property prices and salaries varying depending on where you live, buying a property can feel a bit daunting in certain places. However, recent research carried out by comparemymove.com revealed that Bradford is among the top 5 towns and cities in the UK that is the most affordable place for first time buyers.

Why Bradford is a great place to live

Situated just half an hour from Leeds, Bradford is a thriving city in its own right with plenty to offer its residents. As well as stunning architecture and the amazing City Park (home to lasers, water effects and 100 fountains) Bradford is home to many cultural events and attractions, including the National Science and Media Museum and Impressions Gallery. The city was dubbed ‘curry capital of the UK’ (winning the coveted title six years in a row in the mid-2010s) thanks to its array of more than 200 Asian restaurants, it was given the honour of being the world’s first UNESCO City of Film in 2009.
