Urmston property market: common questions

Where is Urmston?

Urmston is in Greater Manchester. Figures for Urmston cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in Urmston?

The median asking price across the 134 homes for sale in Urmston is £350,000 (as of 5 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 £269,950 and £430,000. That is 30% above Greater Manchester. Homes that actually sold in Urmston went for a median £355,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Urmston is up 74% over the last 10 years and up 8% 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.

No: asking prices in Urmston are typically higher than across Greater Manchester. The median asking price in Urmston is £350,000 against £270k across Greater Manchester: 30% above Greater Manchester.

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 (134 in Urmston), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Urmston cover listings within about 2.0 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 Urmston since June 2026.
  • Greater Manchester comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Greater 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. 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.
