In cash terms the typical M26 4 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £197,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 139%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the M26 4 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2000 (−22.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What M26 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.2% | −3.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 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
The year-by-year sales count
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 50 M26 4 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 205 sales a year before the financial crisis and 89 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.
Rents around M26 4
The local authority for M26 4 is Bury, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £967 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £197,500 median purchase price, a rent of £967 a month (£11,604 a year) works out at a 5.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the M26 4 market
This is a thin market: 50 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.
M26 4 (Radcliffe): the questions that come up
How much did a house sell for in M26 4 (Radcliffe)?
Are property prices falling in M26 4 (Radcliffe)?
Is M26 4 (Radcliffe) a good place to buy a house?
Are M26 4 prices heading up or down?

If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

What another bedroom costs 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%) |
| Terraced | £181,725 | £199,300 (+10%) | £246,000 (+23%) | £350,000 (+42%) | £455,000 (+30%) |
| Flat | £160,000 | £233,000 (+46%) | £330,000 (+42%) | £590,000 (+79%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
