Alsager property market: September 2026

Who this is for: This note is for anyone buying, selling or coming to the end of a fixed-rate mortgage in Alsager and South Cheshire in autumn 2026.

Asking prices in Alsager sit at a median of around £320,000, with half of current listings falling between approximately £224,500 and £450,000, according to Perch's Alsager market dashboard updated 4 September 2026. That places Alsager roughly 4% below the Cheshire-wide median of £335,000 on the same dashboard. Perch's sold-price data shows median values up around 3% over the past 12 months and approximately 49% over 10 years, pointing to long-run appreciation rather than short-term volatility. Property Solvers, drawing on Land Registry data, records average prices in Alsager in the £254,000 to £265,000 range with year-on-year growth of around 4% to 5%.

The Alsager Parish Housing Needs Report adds useful context. It records average sold prices rising from £227,498 in 2020 to around £285,738 in 2023, before falling back to approximately £257,625 in 2024. The more recent Perch and Property Solvers figures suggest prices have since stabilised and are rising modestly. The report records an affordability ratio of 7.7, meaning a typical Alsager home costs nearly eight times median local earnings.

Supply and demand are in reasonable balance. Perch records 91 homes currently for sale in Alsager, with 248 homes sold in the past 12 months against a five-year norm of around 260 per year. In the 30 days to early September, 27 properties came to market and 32 left, suggesting modest but steady turnover. At Cheshire East level, GetTheData records approximately 15,096 properties available, equivalent to around 10.6 months of supply at historic sales rates. Across wider South Cheshire, a county-level dashboard cited by Meller Braggins shows a median sale price of £268,000 and year-on-year price movement of approximately -0.3%, with sales volumes down around 21% year-on-year.

The most active local debate concerns new supply rather than price. Alsager Nub News reported in June 2026 that plans for up to 130 new homes on open countryside at Alsager were recommended for approval by Cheshire East's Strategic Planning Board. Place North West confirms the applicant is Hallam Land, a subsidiary of Henry Boot, seeking outline planning consent. The Alsager Town Council housing-needs report notes that local income growth has not kept pace with house prices, while Cheshire East's consultation records show ongoing local planning policy work.

Figures are correct as of September 2026, are subject to revision as sales complete and are recorded, and vary materially by street, property type and condition.
