Stockport market report SK
The SK (Stockport) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 335,852 sales registered with HM Land Registry in the SK postcode area (Stockport) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to July 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: the 2026 median for the SK postcode area (Stockport) is £290,000, from 3,546 registered sales, up 12% on five years earlier; the mean is £345,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,420 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 335,852 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

What SK homes really sell for
Across 3,546 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) SK home went for £290,000. The mean is £345,600, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
SK prices by floor area
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in SK costs about £3,420 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.
Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, SK sits 2% above the national market.

| 1995 | £55,000 | £119,562 | 8,510 |
In cash terms the typical SK home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 143%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SK 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 2003 (+25.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−3.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £510,000 against £160,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

What SK has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.3% | −5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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 SK
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
SK recorded 7,772 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 13,582 sales a year before the financial crisis and 8,378 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.
What tenants pay around SK
For renting purposes SK sits in Stockport, the local authority covering most of the SK area (parts fall under Cheshire East and High Peak, where rents differ). The ONS average private rent there is £1,100 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £798 a month here against £1,719 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Stockport
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £290,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,100 a month (£13,200 a year) works out at a 4.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
Asked and answered: SK (Stockport)
Are property prices falling in SK (Stockport)?
Is SK (Stockport) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SK (Stockport)?
Will SK prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 12% over five years in cash but down 12% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
SK's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in SK sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 1,032 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 8% above the SK median sold price.
28% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Beechurst Road, Cheadle Hulme, Cheshi...
- Pierce Street, Macclesfield
- Victoria Mill, Houldsworth Street, Reddish
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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SK prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SK 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £330,000 | £474,050 (+44%) | £712,500 (+50%) | £1,000,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £227,000 | £265,000 (+17%) | £343,225 (+30%) | £475,000 (+38%) | £660,000 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £180,000 | £205,700 (+14%) | £264,000 (+28%) | £350,000 (+33%) | £483,975 (+38%) |
| Flat | £135,000 | £200,000 (+48%) | £300,000 (+50%) | £450,000 (+50%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers
The spread across the SK area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.
