It’s that time of the month to examine the Levenshulme property market and Edward Mellor’s place within it!
With the ‘spring rush’ fast approaching, now is the time to consider the sale of your home. We are here with expert advice and over 40 years of experience to help guide you through the buying and selling journey.
Let’s take a look at how the market fared during February.
Levenshulme is ideally located between Stockport and Manchester and provides residents with convenient transport links, as well as a range of excellent local amenities, making it ideal for young couples, first-time buyers and professionals.
Buyer trends have continued from the beginning of the year into February, with high levels of interest in properties marketed within the £200k-£300k price bracket. These homes tend to be terraced or smaller semi-detached properties that appeal to first-time buyers. However, there is an increase in homeowners looking to upsize, therefore freeing up stock in the lower end of the market and keeping the Levenshulme property market buoyant.
A current trend we are seeing with first-time buyers is a preference for ‘move-in ready’ homes. Due to the reduction of mortgage rates, buyers are borrowing against the banks and buying properties in better condition at a higher price, rather than an investment property. This infers that first-time buyers have less disposable income to spend on refurbishing a property, therefore the condition of a home is generally a deciding factor.
This month, we had 12 new instructions and 8 sales agreed, showing us that supply is currently higher than demand, therefore now is an advantageous time to find your dream home!
Alternatively, if you are thinking about selling, Edward Mellor was the number one estate agent for new instructions in the area during February, so who better to trust to market your home!

The average sale price for properties in Levenshulme over the past 12 months is £240.131, which is a 5% increase in annual sales prices and a 32% rise in sales prices over the past 5 years**.
This rise in house prices over the last five years is indicative of Levenshulme’s growing popularity. Lenders appear to be relaxing their criteria for first-time buyers, meaning the demand for terraced and smaller semi-detached properties is heightened. With an increase in demand comes more competitive pricing strategies.
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 drive interest and achieve the best price for our vendors.
We have a plethora of exciting success stories this month and it’s no surprise after we’ve sold 13.8% of the market within Levenshulme*.
