How Queen Street, Oldham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Queen 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 | £35,000 | £77,717 |
| 2000s | 7 | £60,000 | £109,302 |
| 2010s | 2 | £75,000 | £105,750 |
| 2020s | 1 | £120,000 | £122,609 |
The highest yearly median on record for Queen Street, Oldham is £120,000 in 2024; the lowest is £33,475 in 1995. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £33,475 to £120,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £74,330, so the real change over the whole record is +69.9% — about +1.84% 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: +23.7% in cash against -9.2% 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.

The most recent sales
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 Queen Street, Oldham values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Queen 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 | 124 | 93.9% | £60,000 | £10,000 – £199,950 |
| Semi-detached | 8 | 6.1% | £197,450 | £29,000 – £340,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Queen Street, Oldham
124 of the sales on record are leasehold and 8 freehold — 93.9% 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 £63,625 and the median freehold sale £57,000 — a gap of -10.4%. 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 | 124 | 93.9% | £63,625 |
| Freehold | 8 | 6.1% | £57,000 |
| New build | 1 | 0.8% | £38,500 |
| Existing home | 131 | 99.2% | £63,750 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -39.6%. 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 24 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.

Living in Queen Street, Oldham
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 |

| B | 7,640 | 6.8% |
| C | 37,661 | 33.4% |

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 £63,625 here, that rent is a gross yield of 17.37% 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 OL2 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.

Within Oldham the street ranks 1829 of 2309 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £90,000 (-29.3%).
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 £340,000. 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.
Queen 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. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Queen Street, Oldham?
The median price paid in Queen Street, Oldham across every sale on the register is £63,625. 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 Queen Street, Oldham?
132 sales are on record for Queen Street, Oldham, the most recent completing on 6 Feb 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Queen Street, Oldham house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +23.7% between 2014 and 2024. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -9.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Queen Street, Oldham house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £120,000, set in 2024. 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 Queen Street, Oldham?

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 6 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.
