Burslem Property Market Guide
Property types
Known as the 'Mother Town' of the Potteries, Burslem is the oldest of the six towns and was the country's leading pottery centre by the late 17th century. Its housing stock reflects that history: dense Victorian terraces built around the old pot-banks, with Burslem Park and the town's civic buildings - including the Wedgwood Institute - marking its former civic importance.
Rental & tenant demand
Rental demand comes mainly from tenants seeking affordable terraced housing close to the town centre, with some interest tied to Port Vale FC's Vale Park ground and ongoing town-centre regeneration schemes.
Investment characteristics
Burslem's low entry prices relative to much of the city make it a common choice for investors focused on yield over capital growth, though regeneration investment in the town centre is a factor worth watching for both.
Transport & nearby areas
Bus links run into Hanley and the other five towns; the A50 and A527 provide road access. Borders Middleport, Cobridge and Tunstall.
