The richest street across the city of Manchester might surprise some, with the prestigious southern suburbs of Didsbury and Chorlton often expected to top the list of the poshest areas.
However the latest property sold prices show the city centre topping the richest streets charts, with New Wakefield Street (M1) standing out dramatically at the top, with an average price of £2.7 million – significantly higher than any other street.
This figure is particularly notable as it’s based on four separate transactions, with a wide price range from £225,000 to £5.2 million showing in HM Land Registry price paid data.
The M20 postcode in Didsbury still shows dominance acorss the top 10 though, proving it is still Manchester’s main place for millionaire property buyers and is the regions super prime market, with six of the top 10 addresses: Agalia Gardens (£1.29M), Belfield Road (£1.26M), Winchester Park (£1.05M), Pine Road (£947.5K), Bloomesbury Avenue (£910K), and Turnstone Avenue (£904K).
The city centre also makes its mark with entries in both M1 and M3 districts. St John Street (M3) is particularly noteworthy, combining an impressive average price of £1.02 million with seven transactions. Wood Street (M3) completes the city centre’s representation in the top 10, with an average of £950,000 across multiple sales.
Perhaps the most intriguing entry is Bloomesbury Avenue (M20), which combines an average price of £910,997 with fifteen transactions – far exceeding the transaction volumes of other streets in the ranking.
