Therefore, I promised that I would compare the average number of properties sold by the actual number of properties on that street, to find out the streets whose owners proportionally moved (or sold) more often than the rest of the locality.
To give some foundation to the article, in 2017 Northwich homeowners had, on average, lived at their existing address for 17 years and 6 months.
However, when I looked at the difference between homeowners with and without a mortgage; Northwich homeowners without a mortgage had lived in their Northwich home for an average of 23 years and 9 months compared with 10 years and 1 month for homeowners with a mortgage.
Interestingly, Northwich’s Cheshire West and Chester Council house tenants have on average resided at their present home for 11 years and 4 months, whilst finally for those who rent from a private landlord, tenants generally have lived in their property for an average of 3 years and 11 months (up from 3 years 5 months only five years ago).
The CW8 street in the top 25 saleable streets with the highest number of households on it is Chester Road, which has 522 residential addresses (including surrounding villages).
Yet since 1995, only 510 properties have changed hands (some multiple times!) .. which means the street’s saleability or churn rate is 97.7%.
However, the street or road that has the highest saleability or churn rate is White Hart Gardens … which has 42 households on it, yet since 1995 there have been 107 house sales … a saleability rate of 254.8%. Here is the full breakdown of the top 25 streets
| Street (in CW8) | The Street’s Saleability
(or Churn) Rate since 1995 |
| White Hart Gardens | 254.8% |
| Rowan Rise | 236.6% |
| Castle Street | 190.2% |
| Burnside Way | 190.0% |
| Hollybank Close | 184.6% |
| St Catherine Drive | 170.7% |
| Solvay Road | 170.1% |
| Gordale Close | 165.5% |
| Huxley Street | 156.5% |
| Romanes Street | 148.6% |
| Moreton Street | 146.9% |
| Mornant Avenue | 123.6% |
| David Street | 113.6% |
| Lydyett Lane | 98.0% |
| Chester Road | 97.7% |
| School Lane | 97.5% |
| Spencer Street | 94.2% |
| Runcorn Road | 93.6% |
| Moss Road | 90.5% |
| Cromwell Road | 90.3% |
| Beach Road | 89.5% |
| Church Road | 88.3% |
| Townfield Lane | 82.1% |
| Norley Road | 76.1% |
| Northwich Road | 76.0% |
So, as you can see, some interesting statistics and a lot more correlation between saleability rate and property values (unlike the article last time where we compared value to ‘out and out’ raw sales figures).
Therefore, what does this all mean to Northwich homeowners and Northwich landlords? Well these 25 streets are the best performing streets out of the 697 streets in the Northwich (CW8) area so if you live/own a property on those 25 streets … you are sitting on a very saleable street. If you want to find out how saleable your street is .. please drop me a line and we can discuss this further.
