In cash terms the typical OL5 0 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 142%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 8% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OL5 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 2003 (+28.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−12.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What OL5 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.5% | −4.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in OL5 0
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The register shows 31 OL5 0 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 138 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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 homes rent for around OL5 0
OL5 0 falls under Tameside, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £920 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £677 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,389, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Tameside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £195,000 median purchase price, a rent of £920 a month (£11,040 a year) works out at a 5.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the OL5 0 market
This is a thin market: 31 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.

Where do OL5 0 prices go next?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 22% over five years in cash but down 4% after inflation.

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. 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £180,000 | £205,000 (+14%) | £251,000 (+22%) | £320,000 (+27%) | £375,000 (+17%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
