Cheshire East continues to outperform much of the North West, with house prices in the area rising by 10.7 per cent over the past year, according to Nantwich estate agents, James Du Pavey.

The average property in Cheshire East now costs approximately £303,541, placing the borough among the top ten in the region for annual price growth.

Homes in Cheshire East and across the North West are now selling faster than before, taking just 35 days on average to go under offer.

This growth comes amid a broader recovery in the UK housing market following a slowdown earlier in the year.

After a rush in transactions ahead of the April stamp duty change, sales volumes have since dropped by 28 per cent, a shift seen as a natural market correction.

Still, key indicators point to resilience. House prices across the UK have risen by 6.4 per cent, with the average home now valued at just over £271,000.

Mortgage approvals have dipped only slightly, down 2.1 per cent, suggesting that buyer demand remains steady despite recent volatility.

New home completions are down nearly 14 per cent, and gross mortgage lending has fallen by 19.2 per cent.

However, confidence is building again. An interest rate cut in May has helped revive demand, contributing to the highest number of agreed sales in four years during the same month.

At the same time, more homes are coming to market, up 13 per cent year-on-year, giving buyers more options and helping to stabilise conditions.

With over 211,000 new homes built across the UK in the past year and continued government support for development, Cheshire East is well positioned to benefit from long-term housing demand.
