According to estate agent, Indlu, Eccles is a 'property hotspot' in Greater Manchester 'sub-markets', alongside Cheetham Hill and Urmston...
"Eccles has long been considered a decent and affordable commuter base for people working in Manchester city centre, but it's the rise and rise of Salford which has spurred the growth in the Eccles housing market – 3.57% year on year" states the company.
"This is the third-highest house-price growth in Manchester and, interestingly, is shared with Salford itself, which is a strong indicator that Salford still has plenty of room to grow" it adds "The reason why Eccles is, arguably, more interesting, is because Salford's property market has now been growing for some time and therefore on a like-for-like basis, prices are likely to be higher."
Two big planning applications have recently been approved in Eccles; a 23 storey block of 272 flats on Church Street (see here) and for 82 apartments within the former Grade II listed Crown Theatre (see here).
Indlu adds that another attraction of Eccles is that it's on the Metrolink "which also goes to MediaCityUK and Salford Quays on its way to the Cornbrook..."
The biggest house price growth was in Cheetham Hill at 4.75% year on year, and Urmston's growth was 3.47% year on year. While Radcliffe only has moderate house-price growth, "its future prospects look very strong" states the company.
