M20 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside M20 (Manchester). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical M20 6 home went from £58,900 in 1995 to £372,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 191%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the M20 6 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 1997 (+19.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−8.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.4% | −1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Sales activity in M20 6
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 42 M20 6 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 241 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 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.
The rental side of M20 6
The local authority for M20 6 is Manchester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£1,352 a month is £16,224 a year, which against the £372,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.
Reading the M20 6 market
Only 42 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes M20 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

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. 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 | — | £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%) |

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.
