The average Stockport home sold for £329,797 (Land Registry data). Prices by type, the £1.3m street by the town centre, and why Heaton Moor tops the ladder.

What a Stockport house is “worth” depends on which number you read. Asking prices are hopes; the figure that matters is what buyers actually paid, which HM Land Registry records when each sale completes. This page reads those sold-price figures plainly: the town and borough averages, what each property type goes for, the £1.3 million address hiding behind the town centre, and the local ladder from Bramhall down to Bredbury.

The quick answer

The average sold price for a property in Stockport itself (the SK1 to SK5, SK7, SK8 and M19 postcodes) is £329,797, based on HM Land Registry data compiled by PropertySolvers for the last rolling year. That is up £7,093 (2.35%) over twelve months and £35,480 (12.97%) over five years: steady growth, well past the boom pace of 2021 but not going backwards.

The official UK House Price Index puts the Stockport borough average at £318,163 for May 2026, up 5.4% on the year. The two figures cover slightly different ground and time windows, but they agree on the direction: upwards, and faster than England as a whole, which rose just 2.3% over the same year.

What it means for you

If you are selling, the volume numbers matter more than the average. Stockport recorded 1,243 sales in the last year, down 41.83% on the year before, homes take an average of 86 days from listing to completion, and the typical sale completes about £10,573 (2%) under asking. In June 2026 alone there were 182 new listings, 183 agreed sales and 79 price reductions, so almost as many homes went under offer as came to market, but nearly half as many again had to cut their price to get there. A realistically priced house sells; an ambitious one joins the reductions column. If you are buying, the borough’s 5.4% annual rise means waiting is not free here the way it is in the stalled south, and the most-sold price band, £234,000 to £298,000, is where competition concentrates. If you are staying put, your home has gained roughly 2 to 6% in a year depending on where and what it is.

Prices by property type

The UK House Price Index breaks the borough down by type. These are the Stockport borough figures for May 2026:

  • Detached houses: £554,651, up 4.7% on the year.
  • Semi-detached houses: £348,576, up 6.2%. The classic Stockport family home, and rising faster than any type bar one.
  • Terraced houses: £254,133, up 6.4%, the strongest riser of the four. Edgeley and Reddish terraces are the traditional first move.
  • Flats and maisonettes: £175,956, up just 1.9%, the clear laggard.

A first-time buyer in the borough paid an average of £264,420 in May 2026, up 5.7% on the year, while a home mover (selling one property to buy another) paid £382,242. The £118,000 gap between those two figures is, in effect, the size of the step from a first terrace or flat to a family semi in the Heatons or Bramhall.

The local ladder, from Bramhall to Bredbury

One borough, very different markets. Here is the ladder, using the same rolling-year Land Registry sold-price basis for the towns and the May 2026 index for the borough and regions:

Average sold prices, Stockport and nearby areas, 2026 Horizontal bar chart. Bramhall 421,944 pounds. Hazel Grove 374,500 pounds. Marple 334,000 pounds. Stockport town 329,797 pounds. Stockport borough 318,163 pounds. Cheadle 300,250 pounds. England 292,095 pounds. Reddish 271,944 pounds. Bredbury and Woodley 266,666 pounds. North West 219,506 pounds.

Dark green bars are borough towns; pale bars are the borough and regional benchmarks.
Bramhall tops the borough at £421,944; every Stockport town except Reddish and Bredbury sits above the North West average, and the top four beat England too.

Bramhall averages £421,944 (up 2.45% on 212 sales), the borough’s established premium address. Hazel Grove at £374,500 and Marple at £334,000 fill out the top of the table, while Cheadle at £300,250, Reddish at £271,944 and Bredbury and Woodley at £266,666 are the borough’s value markets. Reddish and Bredbury are also where prices are rising the fastest at the moment, up 2.69% and 4.35% respectively, which is what you would expect when buyers priced out of the Heatons look one station down the line.

The most expensive streets

The town’s priciest addresses cluster overwhelmingly in SK4, the Heatons, according to sold-price records compiled by PropertySolvers:

  • The Citadel, Mottram Street (SK1): £1,361,500 average across three sales, a converted landmark right behind the town centre and the exception to the SK4 rule.
  • Princes Road, Heaton Moor: £928,333 across six sales.
  • Cannock Drive, Heaton Mersey: £864,200.
  • Broomfield Road, Heaton Moor: £855,000, with a second stretch of the same road averaging £801,500.
  • Sevenoaks Avenue, Heaton Moor: £833,750.
  • Davenport Park Road, Davenport: £792,483, the top address south of the centre.

At the other end, the cheapest recorded streets are flats and apartment blocks in the town centre and Offerton, several averaging under £85,000. The spread between the two ends of the same postcode area is more than £1.2 million, which is why “the Stockport average” on its own tells you very little about any one street.

How Stockport compares

Stockport sits £37,700 above the England average (£292,095) on the town measure and more than £100,000 above the North West average (£219,506). Within Greater Manchester it is the second most expensive borough market of its neighbours: below Trafford (£393,244, the region’s priciest), but well above the city of Manchester (£247,469) and Tameside (£209,691), and ahead of Cheshire East (£302,367) next door, all on the May 2026 UK House Price Index.

The pull is not hard to explain: the borough combines an eight-minute train into central Manchester with village high streets in Marple and Bramhall, the bars and cafes of the Heatons, and a town centre in the middle of a £1 billion regeneration, which we track in our Stockport planning news. Demand from buyers priced out of south Manchester and Didsbury has landed squarely on SK4, and the street-level figures above show what it did to prices there.
