Ashworth market report OL11 2, Rochdale

The OL11 2 (Ashworth) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 3,660 registered sales in OL11 2 (Rochdale) 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 OL11 2 (Rochdale) home changed hands for £200,000 in 2026 (median of 39 registered sales, up 29% on five years earlier), with the mean at £214,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,310 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 3,660 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

OL11 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside OL11 (Rochdale). 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 OL11 2

In the OL11 2 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £200,000, from 39 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £214,300, sitting a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

What a square metre costs in OL11 2

The last five years of sales put OL11 2 at roughly £2,310 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so OL11 2 trades 30% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical OL11 2 home went from £30,500 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 202%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.

The strongest year on record here is 2013 (+75.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−21.1%). 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

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.

Transaction volumes

OL11 2 recorded 39 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 121 sales a year recently, against 140 a year before 2008. 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.

Rents around OL11 2

For renting purposes OL11 2 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.

Against the £200,000 median purchase price, a rent of £829 a month (£9,948 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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 shape of the OL11 2 market

This is a thin market: 39 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.
