Harpurhey market report M9 4, Manchester

The M9 4 (Harpurhey) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 5,354 registered sales in M9 4 (Manchester) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: a typical M9 4 (Manchester) home changed hands for £200,000 in 2026 (median of 15 registered sales, up 37% on five years earlier), with the mean at £206,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,110 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 5,354 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

M9 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside M9 (Manchester). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What buyers actually paid in M9 4

In the M9 4 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £200,000, from 15 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £206,000, sitting practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.

Price per square metre in M9 4

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in M9 4 costs about £2,110 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving M9 4 30% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical M9 4 home went from £19,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 11 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 384%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.

The strongest year on record here is 2006 (+52.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−22.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

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.

The turnover behind the prices

The register shows 15 M9 4 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 399 sales a year before the financial crisis and 44 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.

The shape of the M9 4 market

Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes M9 4 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.

The rental side of M9 4

The local authority for M9 4 is Manchester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,352 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £989 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,989 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

Set against the £200,000 median sold price, £1,352 a month is £16,224 a year, a gross yield of 8.1%: 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 37% over five years in cash and up 8% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
