What’s the biggest street in Stoke on Trent (ST1)?

Well my recent articles about Stoke on Trent’s most moved street in the last 3 years and the Monopoly board article (the one where I listed the most valuable streets) caused quite a lot of interest locally, so I decided to see what else I could find out about the ST1 postcode area, and I have been able find out the biggest streets in the Stoke on Trent (ST1) postcode area.

Don’t worry, I will get back to some hard-hitting articles about the lack of new homes being built in Stoke on Trent, the trials and tribulations of being a Stoke on Trent buy-to-let landlord and the future of the Stoke on Trent property market .. yet in this article because of the previous positive comments, I wanted to give you what you, the Stoke on Trent homeowners and Stoke on Trent landlords asked about and wanted!

The biggest street in ST1, when it comes to the number of houses on it is Leek Road, with 271 homes. In second place is Ridgway Road with 235 homes and in third is Birches Head Road with 21 homes.

   

Yet, size isn’t everything and the most valuable street of the top 20 biggest streets is Birches Head Road at £27.8m with an average value of £129,000 per property.

The street with the greatest number of movers in the last 3 years is Leek Road, yet its saleability rate was only 14.0%, with Buxton Street having the highest saleability rate of 19.7%.

Yet, did you really think I wouldn’t get at all serious ..

 

The basic rudiments of the Stoke on Trent property market remain principally healthy in many parts of Stoke on Trent, yet the existing political environment means that the vital element of confidence has been diminished slightly in certain parts, and that is triggering a minority of potential property purchasers and house-sellers to vacillate, yet with unemployment at an all-time low, a record number of people with a job, ultra-low interest rates and decent mortgage availability (with the Banks and Building Societies tending to drop mortgage rates instead of increasing them), those Stoke on Trent first time buyers (and especially Stoke on Trent buy-to-let landlords) who have adjourned their next house purchase because of perceived political uncertainty should be reminded that talking to many of my fellow Stoke on Trent agents they have more homes on their books than at any time for the last three or four years, so there is a greater choice of Stoke on Trent properties to call your next home/BTL investment with a potential of securing a great property deal in the next month or so.
