| 1995 | £79,100 | £171,951 | 49 |
In cash terms the typical SK9 4 home went from £79,100 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 86%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 48% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SK9 4 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 2000 (+35.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−27.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SK9 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −16.9% | −18.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −8.0% | −12.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 33 SK9 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 74 sales a year recently, against 87 a year before 2008. 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.
What tenants pay around SK9 4
The local authority for SK9 4 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.
Set against the £320,000 median sold price, £979 a month is £11,748 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the SK9 4 market
This is a thin market: 33 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 SK9 district median, SK9 4 sits 25% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs in SK
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%) |

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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
