One area of Stockport has seen house prices drop more than anywhere else in Greater Manchester.

Property prices in Brinnington and Central fell by £28,745 between June 2020 and June 2021 – a drop of around 17 per cent. According to the Office for National Statistics, the average home used to sell for around £172,995. Now, they go for an average of £144,250.
