In cash terms the typical OL5 9 home went from £36,000 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 149%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 34% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OL5 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 2020 (+40.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−15.3%). 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) | −5.1% | −7.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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 36 OL5 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 153 sales a year before the financial crisis and 84 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 OL5 9 is
Only 36 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OL5 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
The rental side of OL5 9
The local authority for OL5 9 is Tameside, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £920 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £677 a month here against £1,389 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Tameside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £195,000 median sold price, £920 a month is £11,040 a year, a gross yield of 5.7%: 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.
