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 Reddish 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 Reddish has become so desirable to buyers during April.
Reddish is a highly desirable area due to its convenient location between Stockport and Manchester. It provides residents with excellent transport links, as well as a range of local amenities, making it ideal for young couples, first-time buyers, and professional people. Furthermore, its proximity to the residential areas of Heaton Chapel and Heaton Moor makes Reddish a popular area for young adults moving out of the family home but wishing to stay close by.
This month, Reddish has been popular with a range of buyers; however, we have seen a spike in first-time buyer activity. Predominantly, buyers appear to be choosing to stay within Reddish and upsize when they can afford the change. If not, most are moving to areas such as Woodley and Marple. This means our teams from all three branches frequently liaise to find our customers their dream home in either area.
Currently, South Reddish is more sought after by families due to its reputable schools, community atmosphere and local amenities. However, as a consequence, we are seeing a lack of 2-3 bedroom on the market. Demand is outweighing supply, meaning sellers can afford to ask for higher prices.

The average sale price for properties in Reddish over the past 12 months is £206.557, which is a 3% increase in annual sales prices and a 28% 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 Reddish 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 valuers favour an ‘offers over’ strategy to generate high volumes of activity and multiple offers, which, in turn, is pushing the selling prices up.
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.
We have a plethora of exciting success stories this month, and it’s no surprise after we’ve sold 6.4% of the market within Reddish*.
One such story is the sale of a three-bedroom terraced property situated on Bangor Street in Reddish. Our expert valuer implemented an ‘offers over’ pricing strategy to create high levels of interest and drive the price to achieve the vendor’s desired outcome. Consequently, the property received four offers all over the asking price and was ultimately sold for 20k over the original asking price.
Situated within a ‘quiet’ cul-de-sac nearby to Reddish North train station, this three-bedroom semi-detached property is a fantastic opportunity for buyers seeking a move-in-ready home in a well-connected area.
The layout comprises a bay-fronted lounge, attractively fitted kitchen, a modern bathroom, two double bedrooms and a single bedroom with the potential to be a fantastic office space or nursery. Externally, the property benefits from a driveway for off-road parking and a lawned garden to the rear.
