How Garforth Street, Oldham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Garforth Street, Oldham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 5 | £29,950 | £66,503 |
| 2000s | 8 | £34,950 | £63,669 |
| 2010s | 3 | £85,000 | £119,850 |
| 2020s | 3 | £90,000 | £91,957 |
The highest yearly median on record for Garforth Street, Oldham is £125,000 in 2022; the lowest is £26,000 in 1997. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £30,000 to £82,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £66,614, so the real change over the whole record is +29.5% — about +0.90% 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: -8.4% in cash against -44.5% 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.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

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 Garforth Street, 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. Garforth Street, 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 | 203 | 90.6% | £44,000 | £8,000 – £165,000 |
| Semi-detached | 18 | 8.0% | £95,000 | £34,000 – £185,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Garforth Street, Oldham
221 of the sales on record are leasehold and 3 freehold — 98.7% 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 £47,000 and the median freehold sale £105,000 — a gap of +123.4%. 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 | 221 | 98.7% | £47,000 |
| Freehold | 3 | 1.3% | £105,000 |
A further 18 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.

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 £47,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 23.27% 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.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of OL9, 1 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 1 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 0 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 100.0 times quieter.
Against the 242,088 residents the 2021 census counted in Oldham, that is 0.00 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Garforth Street, Oldham?
The median price paid in Garforth Street, Oldham across every sale on the register is £47,500. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Garforth Street, Oldham?
224 sales are on record for Garforth Street, Oldham, the most recent completing on 19 Feb 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Garforth Street, Oldham house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose -8.4% between 2007 and 2024. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -44.5%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Garforth Street, Oldham house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £125,000, set in 2022. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Garforth Street, Oldham?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 19 Feb 2026. 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.
