North West property market sees stable growth in 2025, with SK postcode leading price increases
The North West property market has shown resilience in 2025 with steady growth in house prices, according to analysis from sales progression specialist, ASAP.
The Yorkshire based firm analysed North West housing data[1] and found that average property prices increased by 1.9% year-on-year, from £293,373 in 2024 to £298,971 in 2025.
The SK postcode area – covering areas such as Stockport, Macclesfield, Cheadle and Glossop – recorded the strongest performance, with prices rising 3.8%, from £412,405 in 2024 to £428,275 in 2025.
When it comes to sales progress, 59.77% of listed properties exchanged in 2025, taking an average of 196 days to complete, compared to 56.84% taking 190 days in 2024. Sales fall throughs saw a slight increase, from 24.3% in 2024 to 24.9% in 2025. Regionally, the highest fall-through rate was recorded in Manchester (27.73%), while the lowest was in the SK postcode area at 23.28%.
Richard Megson, Managing Director at ASAP, comments: “Whilst the sales figures highlight the resilience of the North West property market with steady price growth, transaction times remain a concern. Most sales are now taking over six months to complete, and fall-through rates continue to be a challenge. A healthy housing market depends on reducing these delays to minimise fall-throughs. As a specialist in sales progression, our focus is on working with estate agents to speed up the property sales process and help keep more transactions on track.”
