OL10 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside OL10 (Heywood). 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.

In cash terms the typical OL10 4 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £181,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 139%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 10% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OL10 4 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 2003 (+35.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−11.1%). 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) | +0.8% | −1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.6% | −0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.4% | +2.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.6% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in OL10 4
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 30 sales completed in OL10 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 195 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 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 kind of market OL10 4 is
This is a thin market: 30 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What homes rent for around OL10 4
For renting purposes OL10 4 sits in Rochdale. The ONS average private rent there is £829 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £603 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,338, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Rochdale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £181,500 median sold price, £829 a month is £9,948 a year, a gross yield of 5.5%: 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.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in OL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the OL area, from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £257,697 | £349,995 (+36%) | £495,000 (+41%) | £620,000 (+25%) |
| Semi-detached | £180,000 | £205,000 (+14%) | £251,000 (+22%) | £320,000 (+27%) | £375,000 (+17%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
