How Valley Mill Lane, Bury prices moved
The chart tracks the median Valley Mill Lane, Bury house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2006 to 2024. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 4 | £129,950 | £236,731 |
| 2010s | 7 | £138,000 | £194,580 |
| 2020s | 4 | £110,000 | £112,391 |
The highest yearly median on record for Valley Mill Lane, Bury is £160,250 in 2021; the lowest is £98,000 in 2023. Across the full 19-year record the cash median has moved from £103,500 to £115,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £184,261, so the real change over the whole record is -34.3% — about -2.31% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: -16.7% in cash against -42.8% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Valley Mill Lane, Bury is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 72 | 40.2% | £91,950 | £49,000 – £151,287 |
| Terraced | 52 | 29.1% | £143,000 | £85,000 – £208,002 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Valley Mill Lane, Bury
179 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 179 | 100.0% | £125,000 |
| Freehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| New build | 84 | 46.9% | £125,000 |
| Existing home | 95 | 53.1% | £125,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — 0.0%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 16 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
