In cash terms the typical TS5 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £168,500 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 72%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TS5 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 (+34.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−6.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TS5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.2% | +1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 53% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £270,000 against £61,500 for a flat, 4.4 times the price.

Sales activity in TS5
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 432 TS5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 906 sales a year before the financial crisis and 511 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.
What homes rent for around TS5
TS5 falls under Middlesbrough, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £707 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £505 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,004, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Middlesbrough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £168,500 median purchase price, a rent of £707 a month (£8,484 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.
TS5 (Acklam): the questions that come up
Are property prices falling in TS5 (Acklam)?
Is TS5 (Acklam) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in TS5 (Acklam)?
Where do TS5 prices go next?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 16% over five years in cash but down 8% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in TS5 now
Everything above is what homes in TS5 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 53 homes currently on the market from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 11% below the TS5 median sold price.
Of everything listed here, 22% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.

The price of an extra bedroom in TS
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TS 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 | — | £196,000 | £277,500 (+42%) | £430,000 (+55%) | £600,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £136,000 | £148,600 (+9%) | £175,000 (+18%) | £240,000 (+37%) | £318,000 (+32%) |
| Terraced | £95,000 | £90,000 (-5%) | £114,000 (+27%) | £160,500 (+41%) | £225,000 (+40%) |
| Flat | £75,000 | £109,996 (+47%) | £146,500 (+33%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
