In cash terms the typical SK9 3 home went from £69,000 in 1995 to £333,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 123%: 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 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SK9 3 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 (+52.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−12.3%). 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) | −6.6% | −8.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 36 sales completed in SK9 3. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 142 sales a year recently, against 143 a year before 2008. 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.
How SK9 3 trades
Only 36 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SK9 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 SK9 district median, SK9 3 sits 21% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around SK9 3
The local authority for SK9 3 is Cheshire East, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £979 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £692 a month here against £1,603 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheshire East
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £333,800 median purchase price, a rent of £979 a month (£11,748 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SK prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
