How New Earth Street, Oldham prices moved
The chart tracks the median New Earth Street, Oldham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2021. 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 | 2 | £22,750 | £50,516 |
| 2000s | 7 | £42,950 | £78,242 |
| 2010s | 4 | £58,000 | £81,780 |
| 2020s | 1 | £100,000 | £102,174 |
The highest yearly median on record for New Earth Street, Oldham is £100,000 in 2021; the lowest is £22,750 in 1996. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £22,750 to £100,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £49,350, so the real change over the whole record is +156.0% — about +3.83% 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: +110.5% in cash against +73.6% 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. New Earth 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 | 131 | 82.9% | £46,627 | £7,500 – £160,000 |
| Semi-detached | 27 | 17.1% | £48,500 | £12,500 – £135,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in New Earth Street, Oldham
148 of the sales on record are leasehold and 10 freehold — 93.7% 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 £45,814 and the median freehold sale £52,500 — a gap of +14.6%. 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 | 148 | 93.7% | £45,814 |
| Freehold | 10 | 6.3% | £52,500 |
A further 7 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.

Against the median sale of £46,814 here, that rent is a gross yield of 23.61% 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 OL4 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.

New Earth Street, 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 New Earth Street, Oldham house prices at their highest?

The latest sale shown here completed on 15 Dec 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.
