According to Rightmove, the average house price of Greater Manchester over the last year is £192,999 - a 3% increase on the previous year.

The most common sales were of semi-detached properties, which averaged out at £198,879.

But what exactly can you get for that price in different parts of Greater Manchester?

City of Manchester

City Centre

Although many would like to think that property in Manchester city centre is all tasteful mill and factory conversions, the reality is that shiny new-build flats are the order of the day - and many of them aren't even built yet.

A quick search for properties priced at £200k and under will bring up an awful lot of CGI impressions of off-plan apartments, such as the Meadow Side towers being built next to Angel Meadows in NOMA.

One bedroom apartments in this development start at £199,950.

While there are a handful of two bedroom pads dotted around the most dense areas of apartment blocks - such as the Green Quarter, Castlefield and the Chapel Street area of Salford - the majority are one bedrooms.

Didsbury

In the popular suburb of Didsbury, the average house price over the last year has been an eye-watering £360,108.

Flats in this area usually go for £243,405 while a semi-detached will set you back £414,334. In part, this is because the properties in this suburb are large - there are no two-bed semis on the market currently and some have up to eight bedrooms.

For £200k, you can get a two-bedroom duplex apartment on Old Oak Street - it's above a shop but extremely well-connected for public transport, being just two minutes' walk from Didsbury Village tram stop.

Moss Side

Moss Side is one of the cheapest parts of the City of Manchester, with average houses selling for £139,498 - significantly cheaper than nearby Fallowfield and Whalley Range.

You can get a fairly sizeable three-bed semi-detached property in this neck of the woods for comfortably under £200k.

This house on Clinton Avenue, Fallowfield, close to Moss Side, is on a large corner plot with plenty of green space around it, and has two reception rooms as well as three bedrooms. On sale for offers over £195k.

Crumpsall

House prices in Crumpsall are routinely low compared to suburbs south of the city centre - this six bedroom potential palace is going for offers over £190k.

In the right hands, this house could be worth a fortune. A three-storey Victorian town house, complete with a large cellar, more than 2000 sq ft of floor space, and it's just around the corner from a tram stop.

The house has fallen into disrepair and needs full refurbishment, but its basic skeleton is a stunner.

Stockport

Stockport is becoming increasingly popular with first-time buyers and young families. House prices are comparatively cheap here compared to suburbs with similarly easy commutes into Manchester city centre and blossoming food and drink scenes.

There's a newly refurbished three-bed semi-detached house just a short stroll from the train station on the market - and it's quite a looker.

Priced at £200k or over, the property on Aberdeen Crescent has been fitted with a state-of-the-art kitchen and bathroom, and has a sunny little garden out the back.

The Heatons

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

There's a big jump in property prices around Heaton Moor, Heaton Mersey and Heaton Chapel.

Houses can sell for close to £1 million here, with some semis on the market for £700k. Then there are a handful of apartments - many retirement flats - for less than £100k.

Sitting at the £200k mark you'll find a few two-bed apartments, and some family friendly semis like this one in Heaton Norris, on the market for offers over £180k.

It's got three bedrooms, off-street parking, and an enclosed garden out the back.

Marple Bridge

Leafy Marple Bridge has got a real village feel to it - and the properties have all the character to match.

The historic Ludworth Hall has been converted into a series of offices and apartments, standing proudly at the top of Town Street near the train station.

This particular 200k apartment - a two-bed modern space - features high ceilings, a brand new kitchen, two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and two newly-fitted bathrooms.

Tameside

Dukinfield

Head out to Dukinfield near Ashton-under-Lyne with your £200k budget and you'll be spoilt for choice - just look at this four bedroom semi-detached house that's currently on the market for offers over £190k.

This large modern home features a state-of-the-art kitchen, a spacious living room, a conservatory, and four decent-sized bedrooms.

It's also just around the corner from Dukinfield Park and library.

Audenshaw

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

There's a village's-worth of new builds that have sprung up in Audenshaw in recent years.

This particular development - Kings Grange - is just off the M60 and within walking distance of both the Metrolink and railway lines.

There's a rather grand new-build town house, spread over three floors with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a downstairs loo.

You should get change for your £200k too - it's on the market for £185k.

Mossley

For those wanting to edge as close as possible to the beautiful countryside that surrounds Greater Manchester, without losing the convenience of transport and amenities, Mossley is a good shout.

This three-bed semi, on the market for £200k, has views right across the Peak District and is only a five minute walk from Mossley train station.

The house itself has a well-landscaped garden out the back, off-road parking, and is kitted out with a modern kitchen and shower room.

Oldham

Springhead

In the quieter Pennine villages of Oldham - Spinghead, Greenfield, Uppermill, Delph - many properties come with period features.

A classic example of this is the three-bed cottage in Springhead that's currently on the market for £194,950.

It's got vaulted ceilings, wooden beams throughout, a roll-top bath, and a wood-burning stove.

Royton

As traditional, well-presented family homes go, this one in Royton is a winner.

The semi-detached home is on a quiet residential street full of similar properties and has three bedrooms as well as enough off-street parking for four cars.

There are plenty of schools nearby, a modern kitchen and bathroom, and it's on the market for £199,995.

Chadderton

As you edge closer back to the city centre, you might expect the houses to either increase in price or decrease in size (or a bit of both).

That's not the case with Olivers Court, a development of fairly new townhouses in Chadderton.

There's a five-bedroom, three-storey town house on the market for offers over £195k, and it's just a ten minute walk from Westwood tram stop and a huge Tesco Extra.

Rochdale

Middleton

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

For less than £200k you can get a very fancy property in the borough of Rochdale - like this three bedroom semi-detached house.

The home is within a private estate close to Heaton Park and the M60, and is kitted out with a new kitchen and bathroom as well as parking both in front and behind the house.

Syke

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

Five bedrooms. Four storeys. Three reception rooms. Two bathrooms. And one seriously panoramic view.

All this is available for £200k in Syke, a suburb of Rochdale that's about a ten minute drive from the town centre.

The house is fitted with brand new everything, having been recently converted from the Hunters Rest Public House dating back to 1863.

Bury

Prestwich/Whitefield

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

Prestwich and neighbouring Whitefield are becoming increasingly popular with young couples and families. There's a blossoming restaurant and bar scene along Bury New Road, good schools, and reliable transport options.

As a result, property moves fast around here - and a lot of the houses under £200k are fixer-uppers.

This terrace house is a great example with bags of potential, just minutes away from Heaton Park tram stop. It's got ornate bay windows, fireplaces, and a cellar ripe for conversion, all for £184,950.

Heap Bridge

On the outskirts of Bury you can buy yourself a tardis of a home for just £190k.

This house was originally two terraces that have been knocked together, and now you'll find three well-presented reception rooms (two with fireplaces), a large kitchen, four bedrooms and a decent sized garden. Bargain.

Bolton

Bolton town centre

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

Given that the average house price in Bolton over the last year was £157,131, you can expect to get a lot of floor for your £200k.

Just a stone's throw from Bolton train station is this sizeable five bedroom home. It's got three bathrooms plus a separate WC, and four reception rooms, all arranged over three floors with an enclosed garden out the back.

Blackrod

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

There's a flurry of new build estates appearing on the outskirts of the borough of Bolton, including this one in Blackrod.

It's a small development of 12 properties but many of those sit comfortably under £200k, like this three-bed semi-detached with two bathrooms and bonus extra WC, at £197k.

Wigan

Swinley

What does a £200,000 or less property look like around Wigan? Pretty big, actually.

Houses around the £180k-£200k mark are few and far between, mostly because the average house price sits much lower.

But this £185k three bedroom terrace is a good example - large, bright, airy rooms, close to the town centre, and with off-road parking.

Salford

Salford Central

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

The parts of Salford closest to Manchester city centre are packed full of apartments - which is to be expected from somewhere so close to transport links and business hubs.

And as with Manchester city centre, off-plan flats make up the bulk of properties here.

One-bedroom flats in the Embankment West neighbourhood are taking applications now, with prices sitting around the £190k mark. The development is close to Salford Central train station.

Salford Quays

Being this close to MediaCityUK will cost you - a two-bedroom apartment is the most you'll get in these parts for £200k or under.

If you're not keen on the glossy, glassy high-rises that dominate this part of Salford, try Labrador Court. You can get a sunny apartment with parking for £190,000.

Irlams o' th' Height

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

What a difference a few miles makes. While you'd struggle to get more than two bedrooms in the south east part of Salford, you can buy up to four bedrooms further north and west.

In Irlams o' th' Height, this semi-detached house (offers over £190k) has three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a modern fitted kitchen.

Trafford

Altrincham

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

Altrincham's becoming so expensive it'll make your eyes water - the average property price in this southern part of Greater Manchester, famed for its market, has now reached £444,606.

It's still cheaper than nearby Hale (where a two-bed terraced house could set you back £280k+) but properties under £200k are few and far between.

A shining example for Altrincham is this two bedroom apartment in a stunning converted period building, right in the heart of the town centre, for £197,500.

Stretford

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

Stretford is another suburb where property flies off the market increasingly quickly.

Affectionately referred to as the 'Chorlton borders', houses here, in the £200k price bracket, tend to be terraced properties to the west of Chester Road.

This £195k three bed on Thomas Street is a classic example, with a small courtyard out the back.

Sale

(Image: Manchester Evening News)

Property prices in Sale are on the rise, with houses on average costing 21% more than they did in 2015.

Many houses currently on the market are for buy to let investors only, so if you want somewhere you can actually live you'll have more choice with apartments.

This two bedroom waterside apartment is currently on the market for £180k, is close to the tram stop, and comes with underground parking.
