How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Postcode sector OL1 4 | £317,500 | £210,000 +51% since | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | £163,000 +95% since |
| Oldham | £370,000 | £318,750 +16% since | £220,000 +68% since | £225,000 +64% since | £210,000 +76% since |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in OL1 4, over the last five years (666 sales):
- What sells: 50% terraced, 34% semi-detached, 7% detached, 5% other, 3% flats.
- 69% sold leasehold.
- 113 sales in the last twelve months, against 123 in the same twelve months five years ago.
