Denton market report M34, Manchester
The standing M34 (Denton) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 22,312 registered sales in M34 (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 July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: a typical M34 (Manchester) home changed hands for £217,800 in 2026 (median of 194 registered sales, up 15% on five years earlier), with the mean at £223,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,840 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 22,312 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.
The postcode district M34 covering Denton, Audenshaw sits in Manchester. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

In cash terms the typical M34 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £217,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 150%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 9% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the M34 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 (+33.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.0%). 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, 47% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £295,000 against £135,000 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

| Semi-detached | £240,000 | 80 | 10,534 |

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.5% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
M34 recorded 449 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 901 sales a year before the financial crisis and 556 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of M34
M34 falls under Tameside, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £920 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Tameside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £217,800 median purchase price, a rent of £920 a month (£11,040 a year) works out at a 5.1% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

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. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £282,000 | £395,000 (+40%) | £625,000 (+58%) | £810,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £200,000 | £240,000 (+20%) | £310,000 (+29%) | £450,000 (+45%) | £635,000 (+41%) |

| Flat | £160,000 | £233,000 (+46%) | £330,000 (+42%) | £590,000 (+79%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
