Property Investment Stockport

Being a highly sought-after residential region of Greater Manchester located on the southern Manchester/north Cheshire border, Stockport boasts an above-average homeownership rate, and a strong demand for property. As a result, property prices here are higher than average for the area.

Not only this, but Stockport is particularly industrious and continues to build on its strengths as a burgeoning centre for business and industry; it consistently creates reasons for outsiders to come to both Manchester and the North West. And now, with the huge amount of investment that’s being pumped into Stockport, we can expect to see an influx of – at the very least-5000 jobs and 1,100 new homes. This in turn will contribute to the rise in property investment Stockport has to offer.

Stockport’s prime location and transport links are a defining factor in its enduring popularity with potential employers. Being just under ten minutes away from Manchester city centre and surrounded by affluent suburbs, Stockport is the perfect midway point for those looking for a blend of a cosmopolitan city lifestyle and laid-back suburbia.

Furthermore, the mass of investment being injected into the area will help to advance digital connectivity in and around the town. This will ensure that Stockport is on par with its national counterparts and that it maintains the necessary infrastructure to support new business and industry.

With its influx of recent investment Stockport has been reported as one of the top 10 locations on a national level for office occupier investment. It’s also been named as the fastest growing economy in the North West according to a recent UK powerhouse report.

Speaking of Stockport’s triumphant strides towards North West domination, Chief Executive at Stockport Council noted: “Stockport is arguably one of the UK's prime and best-connected business locations, and I’m delighted that so many businesses have chosen to take advantage of this and the opportunities our transformation is creating by investing in our town over the past year, with many more looking to move here over the coming months. I’d like to wish each of them a successful future here in our town.”

As general investment continues to pour into the area, we can also expect the volume of property investment Stockport experiences to rise too. Like other rapidly developing North West towns, investment in business, industry and property are all interlinked. A rise in one sector is sure to affect the other.

Suburban Stronghold

Whilst being relatively metropolitan, Stockport has its fair share of highly sought-after suburban areas. Heaton Moor, Cheadle Hulme and Hazel Grove are but a few examples of Stockport’s many suburban strongholds. Bramhall, one of Stockport’s more salubrious postcodes, has earned a reputation for being a property retreat for the UK’s rich and famous. A respite for lawyers, footballers and famous musicians, the area’s prices have remained well above the national average since 1996.

Filled with fine restaurants, trendy cafes and ritzy bars, Bramhall sits comfortably on the boutique-esque end of the spectrum. With its solid selection of great local schools and other amenities, Bramhall remains a popular choice of residence for professionals, families and celebrities from around the country.
