Stoke-on-Trent, a city in Staffordshire, could provide a top location for your new home to reside in.
It is thought of by many as the home of England's pottery industry and so is often referred to as The Potteries.
Since the 17th century the city has been known for its industrial-scale pottery manufacturing, which first came about as a result of large quantities of coal and of suitable clay for earthenware production being found locally.
The motto of the city is Vis Unita Fortior which translates as united strength is stronger, strength united is the more powerful, or a united force is stronger.
Stoke-on-Trent also played host to the UK's first Michelin plant in the 1920s and according to the last census of 2001 its population was 240,636 in 103,196 households.
For those wanting to go ahead and make a purchase on a property in the area, Barratt Homes currently has offers on its Troydale Churchill Park development, with a one-bed apartment costing from £94,950.
There are also two-bedroom flats available compromising of an open-plan living area having a kitchen, dining and living area in it.
Kitchens in the properties have contemporary fitted units and storage can be found in the hall area.
According to Barratt the area is not only popular but readily accessible with easy access onto the A500, hence its advice to not delay in making a reservation to buy today.
With the company's HomeBuy Direct scheme, a Troydale home can be purchased for just £70,315.
Under the initiative, buyers only need to obtain a 70 per cent mortgage and the remaining balance is placed onto an interest-free equity loan for a five-year period.
The balance becomes payable in the event of selling your home and if you do not do this within the five years, you simply make a monthly interest payment on the 30 per cent instead.
Other developments from the house builder in the Stoke-on-Trent area include the city's Churchill Park homes.
