In cash terms the typical OL15 9 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 119%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 5% 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 OL15 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 2015 (+28.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−9.5%). 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) | +11.1% | +8.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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 OL15 9
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 30 OL15 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 132 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 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 kind of market OL15 9 is
Only 30 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OL15 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within OL15, this sector trades 12% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of OL15 9
OL15 9 falls under Rochdale, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £200,000 median sold price, £829 a month is £9,948 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: 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.

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.
