The standing SK4 2 (Four Heatons) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month.

No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 29 registered 2026 sales put the SK4 2 (Stockport) median at £344,500, up 13% on five years earlier, with a mean of £380,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,800 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,123 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SK4 2 is one sector of SK4 (Stockport): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

The going rate for a home in SK4 2
29 sales were registered in SK4 2 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £344,500. The mean works out at £380,800, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
SK4 2 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SK4 2 sales average about £3,800 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving SK4 2 21% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical SK4 2 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £344,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 164%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SK4 2 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 (+23.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−6.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SK4 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.9% | −3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
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 2
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.
SK4 2 recorded 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 165 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 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 SK4 2
The local authority for SK4 2 is Stockport, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,100 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £798 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,719, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Stockport
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £344,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,100 a month (£13,200 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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 shape of the SK4 2 market
Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SK4 2 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 13% over five years in cash but down 11% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
SK4's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 51 homes at the moment, listed by 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SK4 district, not just SK4 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 40% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Bankhall Road, Heaton Moor, Stockport
- Mauldeth Close, Heaton Mersey, Stockport
- Ravenswood Avenue, Heaton Mersey, Stockport
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.

What another bedroom costs in SK
Real sold prices by size across the SK area, straight 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.

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.
