House prices per square metre in SK17

| 1996 | £57,000 | £120,210 | 528 |
| 1995 | £53,600 | £116,518 | 456 |
In cash terms the typical SK17 home went from £53,600 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 119%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SK17 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 (+26.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−8.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
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, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £397,500 against £141,200 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
SK17 recorded 397 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 653 sales a year before the financial crisis and 478 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 SK17
The local authority for SK17 is High Peak, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £907 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £605 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,388 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, High Peak
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£907 a month is £10,884 a year, which against the £255,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in SK
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £330,000 | £474,050 (+44%) | £712,500 (+50%) | £1,000,000 (+40%) |

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