SK4 3 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 3

The SK4 3 median stands at £375,000 for 2026, built from 51 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £394,600, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

Price per square metre in SK4 3

Measured by floor area, the last five years of SK4 3 sales average about £4,110 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.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, SK4 3 runs 32% above it.

In cash terms the typical SK4 3 home went from £58,600 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 194%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. 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.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+20.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−10.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.

How many homes change hands in SK4 3

SK4 3 recorded 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 196 sales a year before the financial crisis and 119 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.

The shape of the SK4 3 market

This is a thin market: 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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 3 sits 14% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

What tenants pay around SK4 3

The local authority for SK4 3 is Stockport, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,100 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.

Set against the £375,000 median sold price, £1,100 a month is £13,200 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Asked and answered: SK4 3 (Four Heatons)

Are SK4 3 prices heading up or down?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 17% over five years in cash but down 7% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
