In cash terms the typical M16 0 home went from £49,500 in 1995 to £365,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 239%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the M16 0 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 2002 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−36.7%). 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) | +4.3% | +1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +10.7% | +5.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +9.6% | +6.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
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
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 37 sales completed in M16 0. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 126 sales a year recently, against 157 a year before 2008. 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.
Rents around M16 0
For renting purposes M16 0 sits in Trafford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,362 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £938 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,098, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Trafford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £365,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,362 a month (£16,344 a year) works out at a 4.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the M16 0 market
This is a thin market: 37 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. Within M16, this sector trades 16% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in M: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the M area. 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.
