In cash terms the typical BL9 8 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £307,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 152%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 3% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BL9 8 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 2003 (+23.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−11.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.3% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.8% | +0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
BL9 8 recorded 49 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 182 sales a year before the financial crisis and 103 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.
How BL9 8 trades
This is a thin market: 49 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. Within BL9, this sector trades 46% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of BL9 8
BL9 8 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 £307,000 median sold price, £967 a month is £11,604 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in BL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BL area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) |
