In cash terms the typical SK4 4 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £460,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 253%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SK4 4 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 2024 (+29.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−15.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SK4 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +12.2% | +9.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
Sales activity in SK4 4
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
SK4 4 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 191 sales a year before the financial crisis and 116 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.
What homes rent for around SK4 4
For renting purposes SK4 4 sits in Stockport. The ONS average private rent there is £1,100 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £798 a month here against £1,719 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Stockport
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,100 a month is £13,200 a year, which against the £460,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.9%. 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.
The shape of the SK4 4 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. 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. Against the SK4 district median, SK4 4 sits 39% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in SK
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.
