| 1996 | £63,500 | £133,919 | 710 |
| 1995 | £63,500 | £138,039 | 678 |
In cash terms the typical MK7 home went from £63,500 in 1995 to £310,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 125%, 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 21% 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 MK7 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 (+26.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−10.8%). 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) | −10.8% | −12.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £540,000 against £132,000 for a flat, 4.1 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
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.
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, 152 sales completed in MK7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 504 sales a year before the financial crisis and 156 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.
Rents around MK7
MK7 falls under Milton Keynes, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £310,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,336 a month (£16,032 a year) works out at a 5.2% 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.
How MK7 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. In its area's price order MK7 comes 21 of 26, towards the cheaper end of the table.

Bedroom by bedroom: MK prices by size
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%) |

| Flat | £160,000 | £225,000 (+41%) | £307,500 (+37%) | — | — |
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.
