Commodity prices on numbeo are fairly accurate for food, clothing, gym etc….. with the exception being the cinema which is around £15 a ticket although vue have cheaper tickets available.
Manchesters yearly interest rate for housing is the highest in the uk and in 2024 it’s currently at 14.7 % this is due in part to many business such as tv networks and banks moving their headquarters to Manchester or Salford from London which has inflated housing costs and made renting in the city centre and surrounding 5 mile radius unaffordable for the average Mancunian.
