In cash terms the typical BL9 6 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 143%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BL9 6 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 2004 (+51.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−11.9%). 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) | −11.9% | −14.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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 register shows 53 BL9 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 231 sales a year before the financial crisis and 130 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the BL9 6 market
This is a thin market: 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the BL9 district median, BL9 6 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around BL9 6
For renting purposes BL9 6 sits in Bury. The ONS average private rent there is £967 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £684 a month here against £1,559 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£967 a month is £11,604 a year, which against the £185,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

What another bedroom costs in BL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BL area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
