In cash terms the typical OL7 9 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £205,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 114%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 8% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OL7 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 (+35.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−17.4%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.5% | +3.0% |
| 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.
Sales activity in OL7 9
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 39 sales completed in OL7 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 199 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 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.
The rental side of OL7 9
For renting purposes OL7 9 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.
£920 a month is £11,040 a year, which against the £205,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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.
Reading the OL7 9 market
Only 39 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OL7 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: OL prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the OL area. 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.

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