In cash terms the typical OL12 7 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £265,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 122%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the OL12 7 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 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−19.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.2% | +5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.2% | +1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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, 57 sales completed in OL12 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 239 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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 kind of market OL12 7 is
Only 57 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OL12 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within OL12, this sector trades 36% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around OL12 7
For renting purposes OL12 7 sits in Rochdale. The ONS average private rent there is £829 a month (May 2026). 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.
£829 a month is £9,948 a year, which against the £265,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
