Read around SK1. Rents are advertised rents; the sale price is the average of completed sales in the last twelve months.

Stockport is a market town to the south east of Manchester, technically outside the city but closely tied to it economically, and rents here sit close to the Greater Manchester average, reflecting a mix of housing that ranges from Victorian terraces to Edwardian semi-detached streets and newer town centre apartments. The Peak District lies within easy reach to the east, adding to the town's residential appeal.

Stockport railway station sits on the West Coast Main Line, giving fast services to Manchester Piccadilly as well as to London and beyond, which makes the town popular with commuters travelling further afield as well as those working in central Manchester. The M60 runs close to the town, and Stepping Hill hospital sits on the eastern side, bringing hospital staff into the local tenant mix alongside commuters and families.

The town centre has seen significant regeneration in recent years, adding new apartment developments to the older terraced and semi-detached housing found across the borough. For a landlord, Stockport's combination of fast rail links, motorway access and a broad range of housing types tends to support demand from a wide mix of tenants, from commuters wanting a quick journey to Manchester or further afield to families settling in the surrounding suburbs. Stockport's covered market and the Victorian viaduct that dominates the town centre skyline give the area a strong sense of identity, and the ongoing regeneration of the town centre has added a wider choice of modern apartments alongside the established Edwardian terraces, giving landlords a genuine choice between period conversions and newer builds.

Finding your tenant

We manage, we do not let. When your property is empty we appoint one of the best letting agents in your area to find the tenant. Their fee is agreed with you in writing before anything starts, and Caso adds nothing to it. We brief the agent, approve the marketing, check every applicant's referencing, handle the move-in and protect the deposit. You deal with one company throughout.

  • Agent chosen on results, not on who we know
  • Fee agreed in writing before marketing starts
  • Caso takes nothing from the agent
