Britannia market report OL13 0, Bacup
The OL13 0 (Britannia) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 2,248 sales registered with HM Land Registry in OL13 0 (Bacup) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 22 registered 2026 sales put the OL13 0 (Bacup) median at £141,500, up 26% on five years earlier, with a mean of £156,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,680 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,248 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
OL13 0 is one sector of OL13 (Bacup): 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.

The 2026 median for OL13 0 is £141,500, taken from 22 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £156,800, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
OL13 0 prices by floor area
Per square metre, OL13 0 homes have averaged around £1,680 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

In cash terms the typical OL13 0 home went from £25,000 in 1995 to £141,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 160%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2025, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2025 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OL13 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 (+50.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−22.2%). 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) | −8.0% | −10.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.7% | −0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in OL13 0
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
OL13 0 recorded 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 116 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 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 OL13 0
OL13 0 falls under Rossendale, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £808 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £588 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,224 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Rossendale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£808 a month is £9,696 a year, which against the £141,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.9%. 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 shape of the OL13 0 market
This is a thin market: 22 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the OL13 district median, OL13 0 sits 18% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: OL prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the OL area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
