Northwich’s property market looks steady over the next 12 months. The combination of 6.3% rental yields and a price-to-income ratio of 3.8 points to continued interest from both investors and owner-occupiers. Liquidity should remain strong, given that homes are selling in around 36 days and the median achieved price aligns with asking prices (£0 (the typical achieved discount)).
Affordability and a high proportion of private renters are likely to support stable rental demand. While capital growth has been modest, the area’s fundamentals suggest limited downside risk and a market that rewards patience rather than speculation.
