In cash terms the typical M25 3 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 261%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the M25 3 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 (+41.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−16.1%). 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) | +2.6% | +0.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.2% | +0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.6% | +1.7% |
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 M25 3
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, 17 sales completed in M25 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 78 sales a year before the financial crisis and 46 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 homes rent for around M25 3
For renting purposes M25 3 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.
Set against the £330,000 median sold price, £967 a month is £11,604 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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 kind of market M25 3 is
This is a thin market: 17 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 M25 district median, M25 3 sits 12% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs in M
Real sold prices by size across the M area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
