Homes that sold twice

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Forest Gardens, Manchester 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 54 | 84.4% | £112,000 | £10,000 – £275,000 |
| Detached | 5 | 7.8% | £135,000 | £60,000 – £160,000 |
| Terraced | 5 | 7.8% | £125,000 | £66,000 – £135,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Forest Gardens, Manchester
60 of the sales on record are leasehold and 4 freehold — 93.8% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £114,500 and the median freehold sale £92,600 — a gap of -19.1%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 60 | 93.8% | £114,500 |
| Freehold | 4 | 6.3% | £92,600 |
A further 2 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.
Section 09
How Forest Gardens, Manchester compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Forest Gardens, Manchester sits below that national figure — -27.7%.
Within Manchester the street ranks 4518 of 8967 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £118,000 (-3.5%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £10,000 to £275,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

When were Forest Gardens, Manchester house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £122,000, set in 2007. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 21 Mar 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
