How Chew Valley Road, Oldham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Chew Valley Road, Oldham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2026. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £49,000 | £108,803 |
| 2000s | 8 | £87,000 | £158,488 |
| 2010s | 9 | £140,000 | £197,400 |
| 2020s | 6 | £230,000 | £235,000 |
The highest yearly median on record for Chew Valley Road, Oldham is £440,000 in 2023; the lowest is £48,000 in 1995. Across the full 32-year record the cash median has moved from £48,000 to £230,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £106,583, so the real change over the whole record is +115.8% — about +2.51% 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: +64.3% in cash against +17.7% 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.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Chew Valley Road, Oldham values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Chew Valley Road, Oldham 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 186 | 72.1% | £123,900 | £23,000 – £679,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 45 | 17.4% | £120,000 | £15,500 – £399,950 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Chew Valley Road, Oldham
113 of the sales on record are leasehold and 145 freehold — 43.8% 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 £122,000 and the median freehold sale £126,000 — a gap of +3.3%. 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 | 113 | 43.8% | £122,000 |
| Freehold | 145 | 56.2% | £126,000 |
| New build | 9 | 3.5% | £129,950 |
| Existing home | 249 | 96.5% | £124,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +4.8%. 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 19 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Oldham, 40.6% of 112,829 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Oldham at £921 a month as of Jun 2026 — £687 for a one-bedroom home and £1,042 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £124,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.88% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for OL3 in Jun 2026 by Greater Manchester. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

Chew Valley Road, Oldham sits in Oldham, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Oldham at 6.1 times median local earnings of £33,860 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

When were Chew Valley Road, Oldham house prices at their highest?
