In cash terms the typical M20 4 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 151%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the M20 4 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 (+24.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−10.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What M20 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.4% | −12.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.3% |
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 M20 4
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 35 M20 4 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 202 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 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.
What tenants pay around M20 4
M20 4 falls under Manchester, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,352 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £989 a month here against £1,989 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Manchester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £300,000 median sold price, £1,352 a month is £16,224 a year, a gross yield of 5.4%: 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.
How M20 4 trades
This is a thin market: 35 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 M20 district median, M20 4 sits 17% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Searches that land here, answered
People often arrive here having searched an exact postcode, such as M20 6BQ. No public median exists at that scale (a full postcode is only a dozen-odd homes), but every registered sale at those addresses is plotted on the live map, with this page as the wider context.

The price of an extra bedroom in M
What homes of each size actually sold for across the M 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 | — | £282,000 | £395,000 (+40%) | £625,000 (+58%) | £810,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £200,000 | £240,000 (+20%) | £310,000 (+29%) | £450,000 (+45%) | £635,000 (+41%) |

| Flat | £160,000 | £233,000 (+46%) | £330,000 (+42%) | £590,000 (+79%) | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
