In cash terms the typical SK5 8 home went from £24,000 in 1995 to £261,500 in 2026, roughly 11 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 401%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the SK5 8 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 (+45.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−19.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +35.8% | +32.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +9.6% | +4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +11.3% | +7.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +5.5% | +2.7% |
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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 22 sales completed in SK5 8. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 46 sales a year recently, against 46 a year before 2008. 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.
How SK5 8 trades
This is a thin market: 22 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 SK5 district median, SK5 8 sits 11% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around SK5 8
For renting purposes SK5 8 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.
£1,100 a month is £13,200 a year, which against the £261,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SK: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SK area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £330,000 | £474,050 (+44%) | £712,500 (+50%) | £1,000,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £227,000 | £265,000 (+17%) | £343,225 (+30%) | £475,000 (+38%) | £660,000 (+39%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
