In cash terms the typical OL6 9 home went from £33,500 in 1995 to £182,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 151%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 34% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OL6 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 2004 (+58.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−29.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What OL6 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −25.2% | −27.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
OL6 9 recorded 37 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 233 sales a year before the financial crisis and 121 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 kind of market OL6 9 is
Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OL6 9 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 tenants pay around OL6 9
OL6 9 falls under Tameside, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £182,500 median sold price, £920 a month is £11,040 a year, a gross yield of 6.0%: 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
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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
