In cash terms the typical OL12 9 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £186,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 120%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 11% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OL12 9 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 (+32.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.3%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.8% | −8.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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 9
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
OL12 9 recorded 58 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 173 sales a year before the financial crisis and 105 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 9 is
This is a thin market: 58 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.
What tenants pay around OL12 9
For renting purposes OL12 9 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.
Set against the £186,200 median sold price, £829 a month is £9,948 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: OL prices by size
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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
