House prices per square metre in M28

In cash terms the typical M28 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 130%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the M28 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 (+35.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−6.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
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, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £396,000 against £141,500 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in M28
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
M28 recorded 512 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 888 sales a year before the financial crisis and 628 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.
Rents around M28
For renting purposes M28 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.
£1,162 a month is £13,944 a year, which against the £285,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.
Reading the M28 market
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. M28 sits 9 of 42 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.

The price of an extra bedroom in M
Real sold prices by size across the M area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
