OL11 4 is one sector of OL11 (Rochdale): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical OL11 4 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 229%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the OL11 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 2009 (+74.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−32.0%). 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) | +9.6% | +7.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +10.5% | +5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +7.0% | +3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
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.
Sales activity in OL11 4
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 25 OL11 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 122 sales a year before the financial crisis and 67 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.
What tenants pay around OL11 4
OL11 4 falls under Rochdale, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £829 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £250,000 median purchase price, a rent of £829 a month (£9,948 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.
How OL11 4 trades
This is a thin market: 25 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. Against the OL11 district median, OL11 4 sits 19% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in OL
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the OL 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £257,697 | £349,995 (+36%) | £495,000 (+41%) | £620,000 (+25%) |

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.
