In cash terms the typical SK23 6 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £335,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 191%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2008 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SK23 6 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 (+40.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−36.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SK23 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.3% | +3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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, 18 sales completed in SK23 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 52 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 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 homes rent for around SK23 6
The local authority for SK23 6 is High Peak, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £907 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £605 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,388, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £335,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.2%. 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.
Reading the SK23 6 market
Only 18 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SK23 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 SK23, this sector trades 23% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

These cover the whole SK23 district, not just SK23 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
25% 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.

- Hill Drive, Whaley Bridge, High Peak,...
- Clough Field Close, Whaley Bridge, Hi...
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.

Moving up a bedroom in SK: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SK area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £330,000 | £474,050 (+44%) | £712,500 (+50%) | £1,000,000 (+40%) |

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.
