House prices in the North West in 2026
The North West is the fastest-growing major housing market in England right now. The average home sold for £221,445 in July 2026, up 4.4% on the year, against a UK average of £273,000 and an England figure that rose just 1.1%. Liverpool (+8.1%), Preston (+7.3%) and Blackpool (+6.8%) led the way, while Manchester itself, at £252,000, was almost flat at +1.2% after several years of strong growth.
That range, from £137,000 in Blackpool to £318,000 in Stockport, is why we never price a property against a regional average. A terrace in Wigan, a semi in Warrington and a flat in Manchester city centre are different markets, and our offer reflects the one you are actually in. With prices rising quickly across Merseyside and Lancashire, many sellers also have more equity than they realise, which makes a fast, fee-free cash sale a genuine option rather than a compromise.
The trade-off is the same anywhere in the region: an open-market sale through a North West estate agent can take several months from listing to completion and can fall through at any stage, while a cash sale to Bettermove completes on a date you choose, in as little as 7 days, with no agent commission and no legal fees to pay.
