In cash terms the typical BL0 home went from £48,600 in 1995 to £262,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 148%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BL0 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2020 (+25.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.1% | −2.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 46% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £380,000 against £137,500 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Sales activity in BL0
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
BL0 recorded 227 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 462 sales a year before the financial crisis and 246 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the BL0 market
BL0 sits 2 of 10 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
Rents around BL0
BL0 falls under Bury, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £967 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £684 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,559 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Bury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £262,500 median sold price, £967 a month is £11,604 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in BL: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BL area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £279,995 | £365,000 (+30%) | £530,500 (+45%) | £775,000 (+46%) |
| Semi-detached | £180,000 | £209,000 (+16%) | £255,000 (+22%) | £337,500 (+32%) | £444,000 (+32%) |

| Flat | £106,000 | £135,000 (+27%) | £208,500 (+54%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
