The SK4 median stands at £330,000 for 2026, built from 189 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £376,400, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

In cash terms the typical SK4 home went from £57,500 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 164%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 18% 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 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 (+21.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−6.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
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, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £640,000 against £185,000 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

| Semi-detached | £395,000 | 77 | 7,914 |

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.3% | −6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 399 sales completed in SK4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 777 sales a year before the financial crisis and 462 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
SK4 falls under Stockport, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£1,100 a month is £13,200 a year, which against the £330,000 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.
How SK4 trades
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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SK
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SK area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £330,000 | £474,050 (+44%) | £712,500 (+50%) | £1,000,000 (+40%) |

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