Prestwich market report M25 1, Manchester
The standing M25 1 (Prestwich) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 4,626 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in M25 1 (Manchester) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for M25 1 (Manchester) is £268,900, from 54 registered sales, up 12% on five years earlier; the mean is £279,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,200 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 4,626 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
M25 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside M25 (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.

M25 1 prices by floor area

M25 1's median sold price, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1996 | £42,900 | £90,474 | 166 |
| 1995 | £41,000 | £89,128 | 139 |
In cash terms the typical M25 1 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £268,900 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 202%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the M25 1 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 (+35.6% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−10.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What M25 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.6% | −7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
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, 54 sales completed in M25 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 196 sales a year before the financial crisis and 106 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 M25 1
For renting purposes M25 1 sits in Bury. The ONS average private rent there is £967 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £684 a month here against £1,559 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£967 a month is £11,604 a year, which against the £268,900 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.
What kind of market M25 1 is
This is a thin market: 54 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 M25, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

M25's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 41 homes currently on the market from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole M25 district, not just M25 1: live asking prices are collected per district.

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%) |

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
