In cash terms the typical OL7 0 home went from £29,600 in 1995 to £186,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 189%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 8% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OL7 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 2005 (+89.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.4% | +6.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +8.6% | +3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +8.3% | +4.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in OL7 0
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 9 OL7 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 161 sales a year before the financial crisis and 42 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 OL7 0 is
Only 9 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OL7 0 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. Within OL7, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around OL7 0
For renting purposes OL7 0 sits in Tameside. The ONS average private rent there is £920 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £677 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,389 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Tameside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £186,000 median sold price, £920 a month is £11,040 a year, a gross yield of 5.9%: 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.

What you could buy in OL7 now
The live side of the market holds 25 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole OL7 district, not just OL7 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
8% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in OL: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the OL area, straight 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £257,697 | £349,995 (+36%) | £495,000 (+41%) | £620,000 (+25%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
