Ancoats property market: common questions
Where is Ancoats?
Ancoats is in central Manchester, in Greater Manchester. Figures for Ancoats cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Ancoats?
The median asking price across the 268 homes for sale in Ancoats is £230,625 (as of 20 August 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £185,000 and £305,500. That is 8% below Manchester. Homes that actually sold in Ancoats went for a median £245,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).
How many homes are for sale in Ancoats?
268 homes are on the market in Ancoats right now, 78 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in Ancoats?
38 listings in Ancoats had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 14% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Ancoats?
Of the Ancoats listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 49 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.
What is the price per square foot in Ancoats?
In Ancoats, homes that sold went for a median £335 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £350 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (268 in Ancoats), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Ancoats cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Ancoats since January 2026.
- Manchester comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Manchester, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
