SK5 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SK5 (Stockport). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

| 1996 | £38,500 | £81,195 | 173 |
| 1995 | £37,700 | £81,954 | 167 |
In cash terms the typical SK5 6 home went from £37,700 in 1995 to £222,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 171%, 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 7% 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 SK5 6 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 (+35.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.5% | −1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.3% | +2.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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.
The register shows 88 SK5 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 394 sales a year before the financial crisis and 186 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.
Rents around SK5 6
For renting purposes SK5 6 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Stockport
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £222,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,100 a month (£13,200 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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 SK5 6 market
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.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in SK: the cost
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.
