Hoping to get on the property ladder this year?

We all know how expensive buying a house can be and you have to pay close attention to the property market in order to scoop a bargain.

The pandemic has also had a significant impact on the York property market and house prices have continued to climb since July 2020.

However, not every property has to cost a fortune.

There are some properties on the market that seen a significant price reduction in the last few years- could one of them be your next dream home?

Here are five local houses which have seen the greatest price reduction:

On the market for a two bedroom bungalow?

This particular one has seen massive price reductions since being listed for sale in December, with £50,000 being knocked off the original asking price.

This house is described as “deceptively spacious”- but it is in need of some cosmetic upgrading.

The sitting room and dining room is the focal point of the house as it has a very unique layour; it is an ‘L’ shape with an “unusual” corner fireplace, box bay windows and sliding patio doors.

Best of all, there is a large storage loft above the garage, giving you more space to keep your belongings.
