M26 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside M26 (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 M26 3 home went from £43,400 in 1995 to £213,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 127%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 7% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the M26 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 2005 (+40.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−16.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What M26 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.8% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.9% | +2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in M26 3
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.
The register shows 48 M26 3 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 213 sales a year before the financial crisis and 88 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 M26 3 trades
Only 48 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes M26 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What homes rent for around M26 3
For renting purposes M26 3 sits in Bury. The ONS average private rent there is £967 a month (May 2026). 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.
£967 a month is £11,604 a year, which against the £213,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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.

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. 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.

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