In cash terms the typical BL9 7 home went from £32,200 in 1995 to £183,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 161%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the BL9 7 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 (+40.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−12.7%). 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) | +7.6% | +5.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.5% | +0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.6% | +3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in BL9 7
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 48 BL9 7 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 254 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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.
What tenants pay around BL9 7
BL9 7 falls under Bury, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £967 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £183,000 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.
How BL9 7 trades
Only 48 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BL9 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the BL9 district median, BL9 7 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

BL9's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 265 homes at the moment, listed by 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BL9 district, not just BL9 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 25% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Rochdale Old Road, Fairfield, Bury, G...
- Dove Drive, Bury, Greater Manchester
- Manchester Road, Bury, Greater Manche...
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: BL prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BL area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
