During a time of economic and political uncertainty, it is understandable that people are more hesitant to begin their buying and selling journey.
Despite this, the Denton property market has been flourishing. Buyer enquiries and viewing figures are strong and the property market remains healthy.
Let’s take a look at why Denton has become so desirable to buyers during April.
The town of Denton is well situated within Tameside and has long been popular due to its close proximity to Manchester. Bus routes and the M67 motorway network connect residents to the vibrant city, making the area extremely convenient for commuters. Furthermore, Denton train station provides links to Stockport and the rest of the North West.
A wealth of local amenities, leisure facilities and the Haughton Dale Nature Reserve make the town attractive to a range of buyers. However, the property types available tend to cater more towards first-time buyers. Additionally, the abundance of terraced and semi-detached properties is attractive to investors and buyers seeking to expand their portfolios.
Currently, first-time buyers are moving into the area due to its affordability compared to nearby locations such as Haughton Green. As a result, people move into the area and leave when they are financially ready to upsize, rather than purchasing their next home within Denton.

The average sale price for properties in Denton over the past 12 months is £206.917, which is a 6% increase in annual sale prices and a 40% rise in sale prices over the past 5 years**.
Nationally, the speed at which house prices have been rising is slowing down, and with the turbulent state of international politics, the future remains uncertain. This is reflected in the Denton property market. Although prices are continuing to rise steadily, buyers are becoming more cautious and prioritising affordability over location and condition.
To accommodate this, our expert valuer implements an “offers over” pricing strategy to generate high levels of interest, encourage multiple offers, and achieve the best possible price for the vendor.
The overall message we have for prospective sellers is that now is the time to act! The market is hot and spring is historically the season when we see the highest levels of activity. With the future looking so uncertain, now is the time to sell.
We have a plethora of exciting success stories this month, and it’s no surprise after we’ve sold 11.5% of the market within Denton*.
One such story is the sale of a three-bedroom semi-detached property on St Lawrence Street in Denton. Once the property went live on the market, it attracted a high level of interest due to our extensive marketing strategy and received an offer after the second viewing, resulting in a sale after only one week on the market.
