In cash terms the typical M43 7 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £249,200 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 202%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the M43 7 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 (+46.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What M43 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.3% | +5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.3% | +2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +7.9% | +4.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.3% |
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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 50 M43 7 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 282 sales a year before the financial crisis and 136 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.
Rents around M43 7
The local authority for M43 7 is Tameside, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £920 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £677 a month here against £1,389 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Tameside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £249,200 median purchase price, a rent of £920 a month (£11,040 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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.
Reading the M43 7 market
This is a thin market: 50 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. 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. Against the M43 district median, M43 7 sits 8% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in M: the cost
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%) |

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

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.
