Worsley market report M28 2, Manchester
The M28 2 (Worsley) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 3,803 registered sales in M28 2 (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.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 29 registered 2026 sales put the M28 2 (Manchester) median at £332,000, down 15% on five years earlier, with a mean of £327,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,660 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,803 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
M28 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside M28 (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.

M28 2 prices by floor area

| 1996 | £76,600 | £161,546 | 118 |
| 1995 | £62,200 | £135,213 | 96 |
In cash terms the typical M28 2 home went from £62,200 in 1995 to £332,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 146%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 35% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the M28 2 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 2021 (+23.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −15.4% | −17.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.2% | −7.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in M28 2
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
M28 2 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 143 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 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.
Reading the M28 2 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. 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. Within M28, this sector trades 16% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of M28 2
For renting purposes M28 2 sits in Salford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,162 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £883 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,761 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Salford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £332,000 median sold price, £1,162 a month is £13,944 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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.

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.
