Chadderton Property Market Update
Here’s the latest overview of the Chadderton property market by Branch Manager, Lewis Mclarty.
First-time buyer activity
There has been a notable increase in first-time buyers this year, with starter homes priced up to around £250,000 typically selling faster than most. This price bracket remains highly competitive and continues to drive much of the activity locally.
What buyers are looking for
Buyer preferences have become much clearer:
- Large open-plan kitchen/diners are more sought after than usual
- Move-in ready homes are in particularly high demand, likely due to the rising cost of building and renovation works
- A growing number of buyers are specifically asking for downstairs WCs, making this a worthwhile consideration for anyone planning refurbishment
Family homes in demand
Homes offering four proper upstairs bedrooms
are seeing very strong interest. With extension costs increasing, many buyers are now finding it more cost-effective to upsize rather than extend, which is pushing demand towards larger, already well-configured family homes.
Overall, Chadderton is seeing a practical, value-driven market, with buyers prioritising space, layout and condition more than ever. If you’re thinking about selling or improving a property, aligning with these current trends could make a real difference to buyer interest.
