In cash terms the typical SK23 home went from £53,100 in 1995 to £272,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 136%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SK23 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 2002 (+26.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.9% | −5.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
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, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £492,500 against £170,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SK23
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
SK23 recorded 244 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 403 sales a year before the financial crisis and 259 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 SK23
The local authority for SK23 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 £272,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
