Estate Agents in Stockport
Award-winning estate and letting agents selling, letting and managing Stockport property, from new town-centre apartments to Heaton Moor’s semis.
About Stockport
Stockport’s famous railway viaduct was completed in 1840 and opened to trains in 1842, built from around 11 million bricks. The town was once a centre of hat making, and the Hat Works museum tells that story in the restored Wellington Mill on the A6.
Its Grade II listed Market Hall dates from 1861, and the historic Underbanks has seen more than £7m of investment. In 2024 the Sunday Times named Stockport the best place to live in the North West, helped by its revived town centre and independent scene.

Is Stockport
a good place to live?
Stockport offers fast rail links, a thriving independent scene, well-rated schools such as Bramhall High and some of Greater Manchester’s biggest regeneration, with the Mayoral Development Corporation targeting 8,000 new town-centre homes over 14 years.
The trade-offs are years of construction as major regeneration continues, rents rising quickly, up 5.4% in a year, and no tram link just yet. Prices also vary widely by area, so it’s worth getting local advice on which part of Stockport suits you best.
