With 2025 well and truly underway, it’s time to take stock and evaluate the Woodley property market.
After a successful Christmas period, we have continued to outperform our competitors to become the number one estate agent in the area for new instructions.
As we look forward to what the new year brings, we are keen to continue helping our clients navigate the Woodley property market and are diligent in our aim to achieve the best possible outcome for the customer.
Let’s take a look at Woodley’s property market and Edward Mellor’s place within it.
Woodley is a desirable area with a variety of convenient local amenities and transport links into Stockport and Manchester. It has long been popular with young families and first-time buyers due to its links to surrounding areas and attractively priced properties.
However, this month we saw an increase in onwards movers seeking to upsize into 2-3 bedroom semi-detached properties. The condition of the property appears to be of increasing importance to buyers. This infers that the average deposit size for buyers appears to be smaller and there is less available cash for renovations or home improvements. Buyers prefer to pay a higher price for a ‘turn-key’ property and then borrow more money against the mortgage due to the lack of disposable income.
With the ‘spring rush’ coming up quickly, we are seeing an increase in highly motivated buyers looking to complete before the rush. This month we had 7 new instructions and 8 sales agreed, showing us that demand is currently meeting supply. If you are considering listing, then now is the time to get ahead of the market and sell before the oversaturation expected in spring.
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 Woodley over the past 12 months is £229.991, which is a 1% decrease in annual sales prices and a 33% rise in sales prices over the past 5 years**.
Within the last 12 months, Woodley has seen a 1% decrease in house prices which infers a stronger buyer interest in more strategically priced homes. To combat this, our expert local valuer will discuss pricing strategies upon valuing a vendor’s property. They comparably price all properties to generate a high level of viewings which increases the chance of completion and achieves the best possible result.
However, with the ‘spring rush’ coming up soon, now is the time to sell your property with us before the market becomes over-saturated.
We have a plethora of exciting success stories this month and it’s no surprise after we’ve sold 25% of the market to become the number one estate agent within the area*.
One of which is the sale of four-bedroom semi-detached property on Hyde Road. The home was previously on the market with another agent for six months at £350k, however received no offers. We implemented an offers-over-pricing strategy beginning at £340k and achieved an offer over the asking price within the first week of going live on the market.
This was achieved due to the diligent work of our sales negotiators in finding the correct buyer and our expert valuer who successfully identified the best pricing strategy to achieve an outcome that met the vendors’ expectations.
Brimming with character, this beautiful four-bedroom property is a unique home within the area of Woodley. Nestled on a peaceful and private road, the property is situated on an expansive corner plot providing ample space for buyers seeking to upsize.
