Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

| 1996 | £129,900 | £273,953 | 94 |
| 1995 | £122,500 | £266,296 | 30 |
In cash terms the typical SK9 1 home went from £122,500 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 2.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 30%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 57% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SK9 1 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 2025 (+98.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−52.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −52.1% | −53.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.9% | −10.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 23 sales completed in SK9 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 64 sales a year before the financial crisis and 51 a year over the last five. 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.
What kind of market SK9 1 is
This is a thin market: 23 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. 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. Within SK9, this sector trades 19% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around SK9 1
The local authority for SK9 1 is Cheshire East, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £979 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £692 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,603 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheshire East
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £345,000 median purchase price, a rent of £979 a month (£11,748 a year) works out at a 3.4% 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.

Turning to what is actually available: 65 homes on the market right now, from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SK9 district, not just SK9 1: live asking prices are collected per district.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in SK: the cost
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%) |

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