In cash terms the typical OL12 0 home went from £31,500 in 1995 to £155,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 127%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the OL12 0 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 2004 (+40.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.7%). 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) | +5.8% | +3.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.2% | +2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.5% | +3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in OL12 0
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 24 sales completed in OL12 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 145 sales a year before the financial crisis and 49 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 homes rent for around OL12 0
OL12 0 falls under Rochdale, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £829 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £603 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,338 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Rochdale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £155,500 median purchase price, a rent of £829 a month (£9,948 a year) works out at a 6.4% 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 OL12 0 market
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OL12 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within OL12, this sector trades 20% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in OL: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the OL area, from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
