Property Market Overview — Leigh has seen steady residential transaction activity with over 4,100 sales across five years. The market is characterised by a wide range of values, from flats under £70,000 to detached homes exceeding £330,000. Mean prices sit around £207,000, though the median of £170,000 reflects a concentration of sales at the lower end.
Property Types and Price Differences — Terraced homes dominate the market, representing nearly 40% of all sales at an average of £144,284. Semi-detached properties command roughly 50% more at £213,942, while detached homes are significantly higher at £383,295—nearly three times the terraced average. Flats are the most affordable option, averaging £113,150.
Price Trends Over Time — Prices have climbed 21.6% over the past five years, with annual gains occurring through 2024. The most recent 12-month period shows a notably lower average of £140,200, roughly a third below the 2024 level, reflecting a shift in the mix of properties sold rather than a market reversal.
What Stands Out — The market's breadth is striking: recent sales have ranged from £69,000 to £335,000. Terraced and semi-detached homes together account for roughly three-quarters of transactions, making them the practical backbone of the local market.
