Tameside: the market in figures
Tameside has not recorded a single yearly fall in the decade covered. Each change from 2017 to 2026 is positive, and the biggest are 14.1% (2021) and 11.5% (2022). The average rose from £122,292 in 2016 to £213,026 now, a gain of 74.2% or £90,734, with 2016 as the low and 2026 as the high; the smallest rise of the run is this year's 1.4%. Prices here have therefore climbed every year while staying close to the regional level.
This year's 1.4% compares with 2.2% for the North West, whose average is £220,393. Tameside therefore sits 3.3% under its region and 22% under the UK average of £273,037, in 97th place of 135 and 12th of 22 inside the North West. Reading the series another way, the average was £142,984 in 2019, £150,877 in 2020 and £172,087 in 2021, so the climb was already under way before 2022.
Types of home vary widely. At the lower end, flats average £125,225; terraced homes follow at £186,896. Semi-detached homes reach £243,619 and detached houses £370,564, a difference of £245,339 or 195.9% over a flat. Buyers of a first home averaged £195,881, 8% below the figure for all buyers.
The tax picture is simple. Stamp Duty Land Tax of £1,761 applies to a standard move, 0.8% of the total, whereas a first-time buyer pays £0. Another property would cost £12,412, and the HM Land Registry fee is £150.
