With 2025 well and truly underway, it’s time to take stock and evaluate the Edgeley property market.
After a successful Christmas period, we have continued to outperform our competitors to become the number one estate agent in the area for new instructions.
As we look forward to what the new year brings, we are keen to continue helping our clients navigate the Edgeley property market and are diligent in our aim to achieve the best possible outcome for the customer.
Let’s take a look at Edgeley’s property market and Edward Mellor’s place within it. This February update provides insight into buyer and seller activity, based on market trends and data from January.
Edgeley is a highly desirable area, often favoured by first-time buyers, young couple and professional persons. This is due to its close proximity to the centre of Stockport where a plethora of local amenities can be found, such as the Merseyway Shopping Centre, Market Hall and Woodbank Park. Additionally, convenient transport links into Manchester City Centre are available via Stockport Station and the Stockport Bus Interchange.
Since the New Year, we are seeing a shift in the types of buyer purchasing property in Edgeley. The market is no longer dominated by first-time buyers seeking smaller terrace home, but rather a more rounded cliental, including investors and onwards movers.
Consequently, properties requiring renovation are becoming more attractive due to investors looking for a renovation opportunity. There is a strong demand from tenants seeking rental properties, therefore ex-rental and development homes are becoming more sought after by savvy landlords, especially on the auction market.
Despite this, move-in ready properties are still selling extremely quickly with the majority achieving multiple offers and a high level of interest. This month, we had 10 new instructions and 12 sales agreed, showing us that demand is high and now is an advantageous time to put your property on the market.
If you were thinking about listing your property with us then now is the perfect time to do so!

The average sale price for properties in Edgeley over the past 12 months is £226.847, which is a 6% increase in annual sales prices and a 37% rise in sales prices over the past 5 years**.
This rise in house prices over the last five years is indicative to Edgeley’s growing popularity. Although the area is still attractive to first-time buyers, we are seeing a shift towards a growing range of investor and onwards buyers seeking to obtain property in Edgeley. This increases demand and therefore boosts house prices.
To accommodate this, our pricing strategies tend to remain competitive to reflect the market. Our expert valuers favour a realistic approach with an offers-over strategy to achieve the best outcome for our vendors.
We have a plethora of exciting success stories this month and it’s no surprise after we’ve sold 11.8% of the market to become the number one estate agent within the area*.
Here at Edward Mellor, we pride ourselves in expertly guiding our customers through every stage of the buying and selling process. This month we successfully aided a vendor in the sale of their two-bedroom apartment after they found their dream onwards home with us. We successfully facilitated the sale of both properties using an offers over pricing strategy to secure the best outcome for all involved.
This was achieved due to the diligent work of our sales negotiators in finding the correct buyer and our expert valuer who successfully identified the best pricing strategy to achieve an outcome that met the vendors’ expectations.
