Ellesmere Port property market: common questions

Where is Ellesmere Port?

What is the average house price in Ellesmere Port?

The median asking price across the 176 homes for sale in Ellesmere Port is £220,000 (as of 4 October 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 £168,750 and £317,500. That is 33% below Cheshire. Homes that actually sold in Ellesmere Port went for a median £202,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in Ellesmere Port rising or falling?

Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Ellesmere Port is up 47% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is Ellesmere Port cheaper than Cheshire?

Yes: asking prices in Ellesmere Port are typically lower than across Cheshire. The median asking price in Ellesmere Port is £220,000 against £330k across Cheshire: 33% below Cheshire.

The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (176 in Ellesmere Port), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
  • 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 Ellesmere Port since April 2026.
  • Cheshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Cheshire, 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. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
