It’s that time of the month to examine the Reddish 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.
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 professionals. 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.
During February, we saw the continuation of first-time buyers seeking to move to Reddish from Gorton. South Reddish appears to be most attractive, with most properties priced between £200k-£250k selling well.
Although ‘move-in ready’ properties are popular, they tend to come with a higher price point, leaving them sat on the market for longer. Unlike in surrounding areas where landlords appear to be selling up due to the changes in renters’ rights and first-time buyers favouring well-presented homes due to the change in mortgage rates, demand for investment properties is still high, particularly in North Reddish. The investment and buy-to-let market is still alive and well in Reddish.
This month, we had 4 new instructions and 9 sales agreed, showing us that demand is currently higher than supply, therefore now is an advantageous time to sell!
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 Reddish over the past 12 months is £198.694, which is 1% annual increase and a 32% rise in sales prices over the past 5 years**.
The stability of house prices in Reddish is yet another reason for its popularity with first-time buyers as the majority of areas in Greater Manchester appear to have rising house prices.
To accommodate this, our pricing strategies tend to remain competitive to create urgency. 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 18% of the market within Reddish*.
Here at Edward Mellor, we pride ourselves in providing our vendors with expert customer service throughout the entirety of the buying and selling process. This was reflected in the sale of two townhouses in Elisabeth Gardens.
The area is notoriously hard to sell due to the current unpopularity of townhouses. However, with our expert sales negotiators and their in-depth knowledge of our buyers, we are able to match buyers to their dream properties while still securing a competitive price for our vendors. The team focus on building chains with reliable and suitable buyers who we are already in business with to keep the process as smooth as possible.
