| 1996 | £65,000 | £137,082 | 1,026 |
| 1995 | £63,000 | £136,952 | 752 |
In cash terms the typical SK8 home went from £63,000 in 1995 to £377,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 176%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 9% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SK8 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 2003 (+20.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.3%). 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, 46% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £563,200 against £175,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.0% | −0.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.5% |
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
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
SK8 recorded 770 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,188 sales a year before the financial crisis and 780 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Rents around SK8
SK8 falls under Stockport, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Stockport
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £377,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,100 a month (£13,200 a year) works out at a 3.5% 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 SK8 market
Among the 19 measurable districts of its area, SK8 ranks 4 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.

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. 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%) |
| Terraced | £180,000 | £205,700 (+14%) | £264,000 (+28%) | £350,000 (+33%) | £483,975 (+38%) |

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.
