If you’ve been reading the headlines lately, you’ll have seen mixed messages about the UK property market. But what’s really happening here in Chorley?
In this update, I break down what’s going on in the local property market, including buyer demand, average sold prices, and what it means for homeowners and buyers right now.
🏡 New Properties Coming to Market in Chorley
In Q1 2025, over 1,000 properties were listed for sale across the PR6 and PR7 postcodes. That’s consistent with last year, showing steady confidence among sellers.
The majority of new listings were priced between £150,000 and £200,000, primarily made up of terraced and semi-detached homes – the most active part of the market locally. These properties continue to attract strong buyer interest.
🔍 Buyer Demand in Chorley – July 2025
Homes in Chorley are going under offer in around 22–25 days on average, making it one of the fastest-moving areas in the North West.
Buyers are still active, but they’re also more selective. Unlike the post-pandemic rush, today’s buyers are taking a more measured approach. They’re looking closely at value, price, and condition before making offers. However, well-priced, well-presented homes are still selling quickly.
💷 Average House Prices in Chorley – July 2025
The average sold price in Chorley now stands at around £205,000, which is up 4.9% year-on-year.
Here’s a quick breakdown of local property prices by type:
- Terraced homes: ~£145,000
- Semi-detached homes: ~£200,000
- Detached homes: ~£340,000
- Flats: ~£105,000
The £150k–£200k range remains the most active, especially among first-time buyers and those looking to trade up within the area.
💡 Selling a Home in Chorley? Here’s What to Know
If you’re planning to sell, pricing is key. The first two weeks your home is on the market are crucial. Launch too high and risk going stale. Price it right and you’ll benefit from the strongest pool of active buyers.

🧠 Buying a Home in Chorley?
There’s more choice on the market compared to this time last year, giving buyers a little more flexibility.
That said, anything turnkey and under £200k still goes quickly – so it’s important to be prepared. Make sure you’ve got your mortgage agreement in principle sorted and a solicitor lined up so you’re ready to move when the right home appears.
