In cash terms the typical M25 home went from £44,800 in 1995 to £293,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 201%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the M25 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 (+38.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 51% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £580,000 against £166,500 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

Annualised returns

| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in M25
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 296 M25 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 646 sales a year before the financial crisis and 349 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
How M25 trades
M25 sits 7 of 42 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
Rents around M25
The local authority for M25 is Bury, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £967 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £684 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,559, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £293,500 median sold price, £967 a month is £11,604 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: M prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the M area. 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.
