In cash terms the typical OL15 8 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £252,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 190%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OL15 8 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 (+38.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.1%). 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) | +5.2% | +2.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.3% | +0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.5% | +2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
OL15 8 recorded 31 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 163 sales a year before the financial crisis and 88 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around OL15 8
The local authority for OL15 8 is Rochdale, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £829 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £603 a month here against £1,338 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £252,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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.
How OL15 8 trades
Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OL15 8 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 OL15, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in OL: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the OL area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
