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 Marple 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 Marple has become so desirable to buyers during April.
Marple is a highly desirable town due to its wide range of convenient local amenities, such as independent shops, reputable schools, scenic areas of natural beauty, food/drink establishments and its two train stations, which provide transport links into Manchester City Centre.
Its well-regarded schools and community focus make it extremely popular with families. Memorial Park, Marple Locks and Peak Forest Canal also offer scenic walking routes for the whole family to enjoy and add to the charming atmosphere of Marple.
Marple continues to be desirable to a wide range of buyers, from upsizers, first-time buyers and downsizers. Although we are seeing people moving into the area, usually to relocate closer to family, predominantly buyers are choosing to stay within Marple when considering their onward move.
The town offers a diverse range of properties, making it attractive to a variety of buyers and creating opportunities for onward movers to free up supply for first-time buyers and downsizers. Overall, the Marple property market has a healthy buyer cycle and is a prosperous market for sellers.

The average sale price for properties in Marple over the past 12 months is £375.736, which is a 2% increase in annual sales prices and a 24% rise in sales 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 is looking uncertain. Despite this, the Marple property market is flourishing. The popularity of the area and demand for a wide range of stock continue to drive property prices up.
To accommodate this, our expert valuer implements a comparable and realistic pricing strategy to generate high volumes of activity early on, which helps 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 when we see the highest level of activity. With the future looking so uncertain, now is the time to sell.
During April, we sold 7 properties, giving us a market share of 17.5%. Furthermore, we have a 12.1% market share for new instructions.
