In cash terms the typical OL6 6 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £184,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 142%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 8% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OL6 6 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 2005 (+39.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What OL6 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.7% | +4.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.7% | +1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.3% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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 OL6 6
Sales per year, counted
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 27 OL6 6 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 148 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 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.
Reading the OL6 6 market
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OL6 6 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.
What homes rent for around OL6 6
For renting purposes OL6 6 sits in Tameside. The ONS average private rent there is £920 a month (May 2026). 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.
£920 a month is £11,040 a year, which against the £184,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.0%. 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 price of an extra bedroom in OL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the OL area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

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