As the regional centre of Northern Lancashire, Lancaster remains a major market city, with one of the largest livestock markets in the North West. Arguably its most notable landmark, you’ll find Lancaster Castle here, home to the UK’s most infamous witch trial in 1612. The city is also a hub of employment opportunities and once housed the European headquarters of Reebok.

Lancaster has a number of primary and secondary school options, including two for those with special educational needs.

The ‘Shared Ownership’ scheme is government-backed and aims to help first-time buyers get onto the property ladder. You’ll buy however much of a share you can afford in a home, and then pay rent to a landlord who will own the remaining amount. This process requires a smaller deposit, meaning you might be able to save for it sooner. You can then ‘staircase’ your share, meaning you can buy a greater share when you can afford to.
