Offerton market report SK2, Stockport
The SK2 (Offerton) 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: 15,995 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SK2 (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.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 176 registered 2026 sales put the SK2 (Stockport) median at £279,000, up 15% on five years earlier, with a mean of £293,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,210 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 15,995 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SK2 is a postcode district covering Stockport, Offerton in Stockport. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

In cash terms the typical SK2 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £279,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 167%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SK2 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 (+32.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.0%). 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, 48% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £355,000 against £150,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 398 SK2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 660 sales a year before the financial crisis and 384 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around SK2
SK2 falls under Stockport, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,100 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £279,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,100 a month (£13,200 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

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
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%) |

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