In cash terms the typical SK2 5 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £295,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 166%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 6% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SK2 5 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 (+26.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.9% | +3.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in SK2 5
Sales per year, counted
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.
SK2 5 recorded 70 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 262 sales a year before the financial crisis and 163 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.
What tenants pay around SK2 5
SK2 5 falls under Stockport, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,100 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £798 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,719 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Stockport
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £295,000 median sold price, £1,100 a month is £13,200 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.

SK2's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 40 homes currently on the market from an agent publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SK2 district, not just SK2 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
23% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Wessenden Bank, Stockport, Greater Ma...
- Shaw Heath, Stockport, Greater Manche...
- Withypool Drive, STOCKPORT, Cheshire,...
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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: SK prices by size
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.
| 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
