In cash terms the typical SK15 2 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £197,500 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 75%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 31% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SK15 2 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 2016 (+52.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−22.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SK15 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.4% | −8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.6% | −7.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.4% | −2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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 SK15 2
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 34 sales completed in SK15 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 220 sales a year before the financial crisis and 105 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.
Rents around SK15 2
The local authority for SK15 2 is Tameside, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £920 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £197,500 median sold price, £920 a month is £11,040 a year, a gross yield of 5.6%: 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.
How SK15 2 trades
This is a thin market: 34 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. 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. Against the SK15 district median, SK15 2 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in SK
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SK area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
