M27 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside M27 (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.

| 1995 | £34,200 | £74,346 | 74 |
In cash terms the typical M27 4 home went from £34,200 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 203%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the M27 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 2012 (+45.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−12.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.4% | +5.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
M27 4 recorded 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 127 sales a year before the financial crisis and 63 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 homes rent for around M27 4
The local authority for M27 4 is Salford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,162 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £883 a month here against £1,761 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Salford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £225,000 median sold price, £1,162 a month is £13,944 a year, a gross yield of 6.2%: 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.
Reading the M27 4 market
This is a thin market: 29 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 M27 district median, M27 4 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

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.

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

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
