It’s that time of the month to examine the Woodley 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.
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.
During February, we saw an increase in demand for terraced properties – historically a harder type of property to sell in Woodley. This suggests an influx of first-time buyers in the area. However, we are still seeing a healthy number of onward movers and upsizes. Anything in good condition and priced between £385-£400k is achieving a high number of viewings and is selling quickly at a competitive price.
A current trend we are seeing with first-time buyers is a preference for ‘move-in ready’ homes. Due to the reduction of mortgage rates, buyers are borrowing against the banks and buying properties in better condition at a higher price, rather than an investment property. This infers that first-time buyers have less disposable income to spend on refurbishing a property, therefore the condition of a home is generally a deciding factor.
This month, we had 12 new instructions and 10 sales agreed, showing us that supply is currently higher than demand, therefore now is an advantageous time to find your dream home!
Alternatively, if you are thinking about selling, Edward Mellor was the number one estate agent for new instructions in the area during February, so who better to trust to market your home!
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 £227.325, which is a 1% decrease in annual sales prices and a 32% 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 oversaturated.
We have a plethora of exciting success stories this month and it’s no surprise after we’ve sold 23.8% of the market within Woodley*.
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 a three-bedroom semi-detached property on Stockport Road West within Bredbury.
Our Woodley team managed to secure a sale off market to one of our vendors for over the asking price. Due to our expert sales negotiators and their in-depth knowledge of our buyers, we are able to sell at a competitive price before a property hits the open market. 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.
