In cash terms the typical OL9 0 home went from £48,500 in 1995 to £244,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 132%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the OL9 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 2004 (+26.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−12.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What OL9 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.2% | +3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.3% | +1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.6% | +3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in OL9 0
How many homes change hands
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.
OL9 0 recorded 40 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 176 sales a year before the financial crisis and 89 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around OL9 0
For renting purposes OL9 0 sits in Oldham. The ONS average private rent there is £917 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £684 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,416, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Oldham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£917 a month is £11,004 a year, which against the £244,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. 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.
How OL9 0 trades
This is a thin market: 40 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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. Against the OL9 district median, OL9 0 sits 14% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
