In cash terms the typical M7 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £296,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 313%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the M7 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 2005 (+35.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−17.2%). 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, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £400,000 against £145,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 139 M7 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 511 sales a year before the financial crisis and 171 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 tenants pay around M7
For renting purposes M7 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.
£1,162 a month is £13,944 a year, which against the £296,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the M7 market
Only 139 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes M7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. M7 sits 6 of 42 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.

What another bedroom costs 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%) |

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.
