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 Droylsden 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 Droylsden has become so desirable to buyers during April.
The town of Droylsden is well situated within Tameside and has long been popular due to its close proximity to Manchester. Bus routes and the M60 motorway network provide direct links, along with Fairfield train station which is just outside of Droylsden.
Droylsden town centre provides residents with a variety of local amenities to meet day-to-day needs, such as supermarkets, medical practices, leisure facilities, and the scenic Droylsden Marina. For families, there are reputable schools, including St Mary’s CofE Primary and Fairfield Road Primary.
Consequently, the area is popular with a wide range of buyers from families seeking to upsize to investors and first-time buyers.
Currently, we are experiencing a healthy level of movement within the Droylsden property market. Buyers are moving into the area from central Manchester due to its affordability and transport links, while further along the chain, families are choosing to stay and upsize due to the wide range of outstanding/good schools.
However, due to the area’s popularity, stock is not meeting buyer demand. There is a lack of semi-detached properties within the price range of £210-225k.

The average sale price for properties in Droylsden over the past 12 months is £200.122, which is a 1% increase in annual sale prices and a 40% rise in sale prices over the past 5 years**.
Nationally, the pace at which house prices are rising is slowing down and with the turbulent state of international politics, the future appears uncertain. Despite this, the Droylsden property market continues to thrive. The popularity of the area and ongoing demand for a wide range of housing stock continue to drive property prices up.
To accommodate this, our expert valuer employs a ‘test-the-market’ pricing strategy to generate high volumes of activity early on, retaining the flexibility to adjust the price if necessary. This helps achieve the best possible price for the vendor.
The overall message for prospective sellers is clear: now is the time to act! The market is strong and spring is historically the busiest season for property 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 17% of the market within Droylsden*.
One such story is the sale of a three-bedroom semi-detached property on Waverley Crescent within Droylsden. After the vendor instructed us, we implemented an extensive marketing strategy that generated a high level of interest once the property went live.
