The going rate for a home in M35

In the M35 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £238,000, from 101 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £241,200, sitting practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.

M35 prices by floor area

A square metre of M35 home has cost about £2,690 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.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts M35 16% below the country at large.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical M35 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £238,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 149%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.

Year-on-year change in the M35 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 (+42.4% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−13.6%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 47% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £400,000 against £118,000 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

M35 recorded 211 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 447 sales a year before the financial crisis and 227 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.

What homes rent for around M35

For renting purposes M35 sits in Oldham. The ONS average private rent there is £917 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £684 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,416, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Against the £238,000 median purchase price, a rent of £917 a month (£11,004 a year) works out at a 4.6% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: M prices by size

The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the M area. 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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

Before you sell in M35: what the record supports

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.
