Here’s some of the main takeaways from today:

Market Performance and Growth

  • Over the past 14 years, Warrington’s property values have risen by 54%, reaching a total value of £18.13 billion. This growth outpaced both the FTSE100 index (38.5%) and inflation (51.1%) during the same period.
  • The average property price in Warrington currently stands at £242,859, with detached houses averaging £427,317 and apartments at £118,856.
  • Recent data indicates a slight decline in average property prices by 3% over the past year, with a median price of £224,000.

Commercial Property Success

  • Warrington saw significant commercial activity in 2024, including the transaction of over 21,500 sq m of office space—its highest in five years.
  • Major deals were completed at Birchwood Park and Gemini Business Park, reinforcing Warrington’s position as a hub for business and innovation.

Economic Resilience

  • Despite national uncertainties, Warrington remains a leading UK location for economic performance. Its robust investment landscape continues to attract businesses and support developments in office, industrial, and retail sectors.
  • A growing supply of homes for sale has also improved market dynamics, with 1,783 properties available as of January 2025—more than double the number in January 2022.

Looking Ahead

Experts predict steady growth for Warrington’s property market in 2025.

Lower interest rates and stable inflation are expected to boost buyer confidence.

Warrington’s strong partnerships between businesses, residents, and local authorities continue to drive its positive momentum, making it an attractive place to live and invest.
