| 1996 | £83,000 | £175,043 | 889 |
| 1995 | £81,200 | £176,516 | 579 |
In cash terms the typical SK9 home went from £81,200 in 1995 to £424,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 140%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SK9 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 (+23.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−13.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SK9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −13.5% | −15.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £740,200 against £222,500 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
SK9 recorded 576 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,014 sales a year before the financial crisis and 670 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.
The rental side of SK9
The local authority for SK9 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 £424,000 median purchase price, a rent of £979 a month (£11,748 a year) works out at a 2.8% 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.
What kind of market SK9 is
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. SK9 sits 2 of 19 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.

Moving up a bedroom in SK: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SK area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £330,000 | £474,050 (+44%) | £712,500 (+50%) | £1,000,000 (+40%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
