The postcode district M6 covering Pendleton, Irlams o' th' Height, Langworthy sits in Salford. 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.

Today's M6 prices, from the sold record
Across 164 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) M6 home went for £235,000. The mean is £239,300, nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.
House prices per square metre in M6
Measured by floor area, the last five years of M6 sales average about £2,780 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so M6 trades 18% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical M6 home went from £37,700 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 187%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the M6 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 2019 (+40.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−25.5%). 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 year (since 2025) | +4.6% | +2.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.5% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +4.4% | −0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.6% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 51% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £337,500 against £132,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Sales activity in M6
The year-by-year sales count
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 292 sales completed in M6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 658 sales a year before the financial crisis and 411 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.
How M6 trades
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What homes rent for around M6
M6 falls under Salford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,162 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £883 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,761, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Salford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £235,000 median sold price, £1,162 a month is £13,944 a year, a gross yield of 5.9%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Are M6 prices heading up or down?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 18% over five years in cash but down 7% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What is for sale in M6 right now
Everything above is what homes in M6 sold for. The live side of the market holds 12 homes at the moment, listed by 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 13% above the M6 median sold price.
Set against 292 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 12 homes on the market here are roughly 2 weeks of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted. That is a thin shelf: buyers here are choosing from little, and a well priced home is unlikely to wait long.
Of everything listed here, 8% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Month by month: when M6 sells
December is when M6 changes hands most (13.4% of the 2,482 sales dated 2021 to 2025); May is the quiet end at 5.9%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 162 | 6.5% |
| February | 181 | 7.3% |

What another bedroom costs in M
What homes of each size actually sold for across the M area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £240,000 | £277,250 (+16%) | £337,500 (+22%) | £416,000 (+23%) | £574,995 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £193,000 | £225,000 (+17%) | £272,000 (+21%) | £355,000 (+31%) | £500,000 (+41%) |
| Terraced | £180,000 | £190,000 (+6%) | £220,350 (+16%) | £262,000 (+19%) | £352,400 (+35%) |
| Flat | £155,000 | £177,500 (+15%) | £250,000 (+41%) | £295,750 (+18%) | £380,000 (+28%) |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
