In cash terms the typical M21 7 home went from £38,200 in 1995 to £336,500 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 305%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the M21 7 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 (+53.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−15.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What M21 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.0% | −0.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.8% | +2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.4% |
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.
How many homes change hands in M21 7
How many homes change hands
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.
M21 7 recorded 38 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 160 sales a year before the financial crisis and 68 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market M21 7 is
This is a thin market: 38 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. Against the M21 district median, M21 7 sits 18% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around M21 7
The local authority for M21 7 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.
Set against the £336,500 median sold price, £1,352 a month is £16,224 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in M
Real sold prices by size across the M 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £282,000 | £395,000 (+40%) | £625,000 (+58%) | £810,000 (+30%) |
