| 1995 | £36,800 | £79,998 | 149 |
In cash terms the typical M43 6 home went from £36,800 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 175%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the M43 6 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 (+32.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.8% | +1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.2% | +0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.7% | +3.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
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 M43 6
How many homes change hands
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.
The register shows 35 M43 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 218 sales a year before the financial crisis and 157 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.
What kind of market M43 6 is
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes M43 6 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.
What tenants pay around M43 6
M43 6 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 £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £920 a month (£11,040 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the M area. 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
