• The median of achieved minus asking price sits at £0 (the typical achieved discount), so buyers should be mindful of paying close to asking prices with little room for negotiation.
• The area’s high proportion of single occupier households (in the 71st percentile) could mean higher tenant turnover for some property types.

Stockport’s property market looks set to remain resilient over the next year. The combination of 14.8% capital growth over three years and a price-to-income ratio of 5.0 means affordability is unlikely to become a major concern, even if interest rates change.

With 1,567 properties sold in the past year and homes spending just 25 days on the market, liquidity should remain robust. Investors can expect steady rental demand, especially given the healthy yield of 5.9% and continued interest from families and professionals in the area. Barring any dramatic shifts in the wider economy, Stockport should continue to offer a balanced mix of growth and income potential for property investors.
