| 1995 | £56,000 | £121,735 | 8,821 |
In cash terms the typical MK home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 188%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the MK 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 2002 (+23.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.0%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.8% | −5.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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 detached houses dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £515,000 against £180,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
MK recorded 5,904 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 12,748 sales a year before the financial crisis and 7,174 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around MK
MK falls under Milton Keynes, the local authority covering most of the MK area (parts fall under Bedford and Buckinghamshire, where rents differ), where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,336 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £972 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,080 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Milton Keynes
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £350,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,336 a month (£16,032 a year) works out at a 4.6% 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 price of an extra bedroom in MK
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the MK area. 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 | — | £367,500 | £495,000 (+35%) | £675,000 (+36%) | £910,000 (+35%) |
| Semi-detached | £270,000 | £320,000 (+19%) | £375,000 (+17%) | £470,000 (+25%) | £630,000 (+34%) |
| Terraced | £245,000 | £285,000 (+16%) | £330,000 (+16%) | £400,000 (+21%) | £580,000 (+45%) |
| Flat | £160,000 | £225,000 (+41%) | £307,500 (+37%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
