Nantwich housing market: A strong start to 2025
As we step into the spring of 2025, the property market in Nantwich and across Cheshire East is showing encouraging signs of momentum, backed by growing confidence, competitive mortgage rates, and a healthy level of buyer and seller activity - according James Du Pavey.
Cheshire East Leading the Way
Cheshire East is one of the most active housing markets in the North West, ranking second regionally for private stock turnover at 3.2 per cent.
This highlights not only the desirability of the area but also how well properties are moving—a testament to sustained buyer interest and market fluidity.
The average house price in Cheshire East now stands at £294,808, reflecting the area's continued strength in attracting both local movers and buyers from outside the region.
This marks Cheshire East as one of the more premium yet accessible locations in the North West, with solid long-term value for homeowners and investors alike.
Price Growth & Buyer Confidence
Across the North West, house prices have grown 5.4 per cent year-on-year, outperforming the national average of 4.6 per cent.
While the strongest growth was recorded in areas like Blackburn and Sefton, Cheshire East's steady performance underlines its stability—something many buyers and sellers seek in uncertain economic times.
Encouragingly, 62 per cent of agents across the North West have reported increased buyer confidence over the last quarter, thanks in part to falling mortgage rates and improved affordability.
The average new mortgage lending rate has dropped to 4.5 per cent, and some deals are even slipping below 4 per cent for well-qualified buyers.
What Does This Mean for Nantwich?
Nantwich, with its historic charm, excellent schools, and strong community, remains one of the jewels in Cheshire East's crown.
Properties here benefit from both the regional trends and the unique desirability of the town itself.
The increased market activity across the borough suggests that this spring and summer could be an ideal time to move, whether you are upsizing, downsizing, or relocating entirely.
First-time buyers, in particular, are making a return to the market, accounting for nearly a third of new mortgage lending nationally, the highest proportion since records began in 2007.
This resurgence brings more dynamism to the market overall and often creates a beneficial ripple effect for sellers higher up the chain.
