Section 03
Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Wilmslow Road, Alderley Edge values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Wilmslow Road, Alderley Edge is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 23 | 85.2% | £246,000 | £185,000 – £350,000 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | 7.4% | £295,000 | £295,000 – £607,000 |
| Detached | 2 | 7.4% | £883,000 | £883,000 – £975,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Wilmslow Road, Alderley Edge
23 of the sales on record are leasehold and 4 freehold — 85.2% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £246,000 and the median freehold sale £745,000 — a gap of +202.8%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 23 | 85.2% | £246,000 |
| Freehold | 4 | 14.8% | £745,000 |
| New build | 2 | 7.4% | £243,750 |
| Existing home | 25 | 92.6% | £258,620 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -5.7%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 4 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Wilmslow Road, Alderley Edge
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Cheshire East, 44.0% of 197,366 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,489 | 0.8% |
| B | 29,554 | 15.0% |
| C | 55,700 | 28.2% |
| D | 73,725 | 37.4% |
| E | 26,906 | 13.6% |
| F | 7,570 | 3.8% |
| G | 2,422 | 1.2% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Cheshire East at £982 a month as of Jun 2026 — £694 for a one-bedroom home and £1,102 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £255,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.62% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of SK9, 71 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 26 violent, 3 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 10 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.4 times quieter.
Against the 398,772 residents the 2021 census counted in Cheshire East, that is 0.18 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Wilmslow Road, Alderley Edge
The 2021 census counted 398,772 residents in Cheshire East across 174,854 households. 72.9% of those households own their home and 27.1% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
11 state and independent schools have a SK9 postcode: 10 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Wilmslow Road, Alderley Edge compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Wilmslow Road, Alderley Edge sits above that national figure — +61.9%.
Within Alderley Edge the street ranks 83 of 117 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £309,998 (-17.7%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,603 per square metre, across 6 of the 27 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £185,000 to £975,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Wilmslow Road, Alderley Edge sits in Cheshire East, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cheshire East at 7.6 times median local earnings of £39,459 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
