THE WILMSLOW and Alderley Edge property markets are showing signs of recovery, according to leading estate agents.
House prices rose nationally in January, according to latest research, and this trend appears to be matched in two prized corners of the so-called Golden Triangle.
Edward Holmes-Naden, who owns Holmes Naden estate agents, said the market had already undergone an actual’ recovery at the lower end of Alderley Edge and Wilmslow prices and there were ‘signs’ that the top end was about to enjoy the same.
"At the top end there are deals being done – those coming on the market now are going very, very quickly. A lot of people are selling to move up the market at the moment. It is a great time to do that in Wilmslow and Alderley Edge. They are still very, very similar."
He said there was a real shortage of new properties entering the market, which was assisting sales.
"The stock level for all estate agents is the lowest it has been for I don’t know how many years, so there is isn’t much choice," he said.
"We are on the look out for new clients because we know if it’s the right price, we have got a buyer straight away."
There was currently more lower priced property in Wilmslow but only because of the style of housing there, he said.
And Michael Kyte, a chartered surveyor at Gascoigne Halman, with 33 years’ property experience, said: "Both these areas are much better than this time last year.
"There isn’t an enormous stock anywhere but we are currently doing a lot of valuations in both locations and a lot more will be on the market by Easter we are sure."
