With the festive period behind us, it’s time to reflect on the Marple property market and evaluate Edward Mellor’s performance this December. As we head into the new year, we are dedicated to providing expert and reliable services to our clients.
Let’s take a look at how we ended yet another successful year!
Marple is a highly desirable town due to its wide range of convenient local amenities such as independent shops, scenic areas of natural beauty, food/drink establishments and it’s two train stations which provide transport links into Manchester City Centre.
Since November, the trends in Marple’s property market have remained consistent with a range of buyers seeking to move into the area. However, we are seeing a spike in buyers looking to upsize into 3-4 bedroom properties with gardens and parking to accommodate a growing family.
Total property sales in Marple over the past three months have been valued at £19.7m, with 6% of these sales involving flats**. The majority of apartments available within Marple are communal retirement properties. These are popular due to the region’s high population of over 65s. Making up 27.1% of households**, this demographic benefits from Marple’s convenient local amenities.
During the festive period there was a slight dip in activity, with 82 new instructions and 68 sales agreed in the area*. This suggests that supply is currently higher than demand and that Marple is a buyers’ market.
If you were thinking about purchasing in Marple then now is the perfect time to do so!

The average sale price for properties in Marple over the past 12 months is £354.665, which is a 2% decrease in annual sales prices and a 21% rise in sales prices over the past 5 years**.
To accommodate this, our pricing strategy this month has been to remain realistic using comparable properties from the surrounding area to generate a high level of interest and secure a strong buyer.
Our fantastic Marple team take a very active part in ensuring that the property is priced correctly and that the right buyer is found to achieve a desirable outcome for the vendor. We have experts on hand ready to guide you through each stage of the buying and selling process!
Here at Edward Mellor, we work in tandem with our other branches to ensure our customers get the best possible advice and receive information on new and existing listings from across Greater Manchester.
This month is no different, with our Marple and Denton teams working together to secure the sale of a fantastic two-bedroom terraced property on Grey Street in Stalybridge. Due to our team’s expertise, the property received an offer within three days after going live on the market. This freed the vendors up to purchase another apartment which is currently listed with our Woodley branch. Overall, this display of cooperation shows how vital teamwork is to Edward Mellor and just how committed we are to securing the desired outcome for our vendors.
With over 40 years of proven experience in helping people buy and sell property, our local teams are on hand to help clients at every stage of their property journeys.
