What a square metre costs in SK4 1

In cash terms the typical SK4 1 home went from £38,500 in 1995 to £231,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 176%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the SK4 1 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 2004 (+29.6% 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.
What SK4 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.0% | +2.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.9% | +3.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.0% |
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.
Sales activity in SK4 1
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.
SK4 1 recorded 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 101 sales a year before the financial crisis and 47 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.
Reading the SK4 1 market
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SK4 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the SK4 district median, SK4 1 sits 30% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of SK4 1
For renting purposes SK4 1 sits in Stockport. The ONS average private rent there is £1,100 a month (May 2026). 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.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £231,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,100 a month (£13,200 a year) works out at a 5.7% 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.

These cover the whole SK4 district, not just SK4 1: live asking prices are collected per district.

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. 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £227,000 | £265,000 (+17%) | £343,225 (+30%) | £475,000 (+38%) | £660,000 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £180,000 | £205,700 (+14%) | £264,000 (+28%) | £350,000 (+33%) | £483,975 (+38%) |
| Flat | £135,000 | £200,000 (+48%) | £300,000 (+50%) | £450,000 (+50%) | — |
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.
