The standing M34 3 (Denton) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 5,174 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in M34 3 (Manchester) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: the 2026 median for M34 3 (Manchester) is £185,000, from 55 registered sales, up 12% on five years earlier; the mean is £203,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,760 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 5,174 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

A postcode sector like M34 3 is a single group of streets within M34 (Manchester), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What buyers actually paid in M34 3

In the M34 3 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £185,000, from 55 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £203,000, sitting somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

House prices per square metre in M34 3

A square metre of M34 3 home has cost about £2,760 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, M34 3 sits 35% below the national market.

In cash terms the typical M34 3 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £185,000 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 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+29.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−14.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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

Over the last twelve months of data, 55 sales completed in M34 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 227 sales a year before the financial crisis and 147 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 M34 3

For renting purposes M34 3 sits in Tameside. The ONS average private rent there is £920 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £677 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,389 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

Set against the £185,000 median sold price, £920 a month is £11,040 a year, a gross yield of 6.0%: 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.

How M34 3 trades

This is a thin market: 55 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. 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. Within M34, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
