In cash terms the typical M5 4 home went from £27,800 in 1995 to £248,500 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 311%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the M5 4 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 (+63.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−36.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What M5 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +11.2% | +8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in M5 4
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in M5 4. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 201 sales a year over the last five years against 166 before the financial crisis. 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 M5 4
For renting purposes M5 4 sits in Salford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,162 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £883 a month here against £1,761 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Salford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £248,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,162 a month (£13,944 a year) works out at a 5.6% 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.
The shape of the M5 4 market
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes M5 4 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. Against the M5 district median, M5 4 sits 25% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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. 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.
