In cash terms the typical MK4 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £347,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 166%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the MK4 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 2000 (+27.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.7% | −11.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £475,000 against £216,200 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 228 sales completed in MK4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 780 sales a year before the financial crisis and 304 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.
Rents around MK4
The local authority for MK4 is Milton Keynes, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,336 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £972 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,080, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Milton Keynes
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,336 a month is £16,032 a year, which against the £347,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in MK: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the MK area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £367,500 | £495,000 (+35%) | £675,000 (+36%) | £910,000 (+35%) |

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.
