Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

Behind the figures sit 2,609 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
M31 4 is one sector of M31 (Manchester): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical M31 4 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £205,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 130%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2024. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the M31 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 (+35.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−18.7%). 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) | −18.7% | −20.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 17 sales completed in M31 4. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 110 sales a year recently, against 108 a year before 2008. 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 M31 4
For renting purposes M31 4 sits in Trafford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,362 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £938 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,098, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Trafford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £205,000 median sold price, £1,362 a month is £16,344 a year, a gross yield of 8.0%: 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 shape of the M31 4 market
Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes M31 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: M prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the M area, straight 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
