Property Market Overview — Leigh has seen substantial transaction activity over five years, with 5,305 sales recorded. The market has experienced a significant contraction, with prices declining 40.6% from the five-year mean of £208,655 to a recent 12-month average of £117,000. This sharp drop suggests either a shift in the composition of sales toward lower-value properties or a marked weakening in valuations.
Property Types and Price Differences — Terraced homes dominate the market by volume, accounting for 2,245 sales at an average of £132,483, while semi-detached properties command roughly 1.6 times that price at £210,137. Detached homes are substantially more expensive at £378,284—nearly three times the terraced average—whereas flats represent the most affordable segment at £109,543.
Price Trends Over Time — From 2021 to 2023, prices rose steadily from £197,131 to £219,698, before declining to £117,000 in the latest 12-month period. This recent contraction is severe and represents a departure from the previous upward trajectory.
What Stands Out — The recent price range spans from £69,000 to £570,000, indicating considerable diversity within the market. The sharp recent decline and the dominance of terraced and semi-detached properties suggest a market heavily weighted toward more modest housing stock.
