SK16 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SK16 (Dukinfield). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

SK16 4 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical SK16 4 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 136%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SK16 4 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 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−24.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SK16 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.2% | −0.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.8% | +2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 35 sales completed in SK16 4. 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 79 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 SK16 4
SK16 4 falls under Tameside, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £920 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £677 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,389, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Tameside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £185,000 median sold price, £920 a month is £11,040 a year, a gross yield of 6.0%: 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 kind of market SK16 4 is
This is a thin market: 35 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. Within SK16, this sector trades 18% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in SK: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SK area. 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%) |

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