In cash terms the typical BL9 9 home went from £38,500 in 1995 to £217,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 160%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2025, and today's median remains roughly 3% under it: a 2025 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BL9 9 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 (+41.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.5%). 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) | −1.1% | −3.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.5% | +0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in BL9 9
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 56 sales completed in BL9 9. 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 117 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around BL9 9
For renting purposes BL9 9 sits in Bury. The ONS average private rent there is £967 a month (May 2026). 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 £217,500 median sold price, £967 a month is £11,604 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: 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 shape of the BL9 9 market
This is a thin market: 56 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 price of an extra bedroom in BL
Real sold prices by size across the BL area, straight 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%) |
| Terraced | £131,000 | £153,500 (+17%) | £180,000 (+17%) | £245,000 (+36%) | £358,000 (+46%) |
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
