Underneath every chart here sit 20,180 registered sales in M27 (Manchester) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to August 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release. Page updated 19 October 2026.

| 1996 | £42,000 | £88,576 | 554 |
| 1995 | £42,300 | £91,954 | 462 |
In cash terms the typical M27 home went from £42,300 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 166%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the M27 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 2003 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +5.4% | +2.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.8% | +1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.1% | +2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.0% |
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.
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, 47% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £385,000 against £132,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

Sales activity in M27
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
M27 recorded 450 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 885 sales a year before the financial crisis and 495 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.
The rental side of M27
M27 falls under Salford, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£1,162 a month is £13,944 a year, which against the £245,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.7%. 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.
M27 (Swinton): the questions that come up
Are property prices falling in M27 (Swinton)?
Is M27 (Swinton) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in M27 (Swinton)?
What happens to M27 prices now?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 23% over five years in cash but down 3% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
M27's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in M27 sold for. The live side of the market holds 35 homes at the moment, listed by 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 6% above the M27 median sold price.
M27 registered 450 sales in the last twelve months; the 35 homes listed now would take about 4 weeks to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
15% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Hawthorn Drive, Pendlebury, Greater Manchester
- Durham Close, Clifton, Swinton, Manchester, Manchester
- Overdale, Swinton, Manchester
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

Listed against sold: the M27 mix
Flats are 11% of what sold in M27 over 2024 and 2025 but only 0% of what is listed now: they sell, and there are few to choose from, so a good one is unlikely to hang about.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 19% | 9% |
| Semi-detached | 57% | 51% |
| Terraced | 24% | 29% |
| Flats | 0% | 11% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares (5 here).
Month by month: when M27 sells
Across the 2,961 sales completed in M27 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (10.2% of the total) and April the quietest (6.8%). The spread between the busiest and quietest months is small, so timing matters less here than in most markets; price and presentation decide more than the calendar.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 217 | 7.3% |
| February | 231 | 7.8% |
| March | 302 | 10.2% |
| April | 201 | 6.8% |

| June | 268 | 9.1% |
| July | 291 | 9.8% |

| November | 254 | 8.6% |
| December | 239 | 8.1% |
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £240,000 | £277,250 (+16%) | £337,500 (+22%) | £416,000 (+23%) | £574,995 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £193,000 | £225,000 (+17%) | £272,000 (+21%) | £355,000 (+31%) | £500,000 (+41%) |
| Terraced | £180,000 | £190,000 (+6%) | £220,350 (+16%) | £262,000 (+19%) | £352,400 (+35%) |
| Flat | £155,000 | £177,500 (+15%) | £250,000 (+41%) | £295,750 (+18%) | £380,000 (+28%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
