The chart tracks the median Redwood, Oldham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 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.

The highest yearly median on record for Redwood, Oldham is £210,000 in 2018; the lowest is £34,950 in 2000. Across the full 27-year record the cash median has moved from £52,750 to £145,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £117,130, so the real change over the whole record is +56.4% — about +1.74% 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: -3.3% in cash against -23.5% 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.

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 Redwood, Oldham values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Redwood, Oldham is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

150 of the sales on record are leasehold and 13 freehold — 92.0% 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 £85,000 and the median freehold sale £132,000 — a gap of +55.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

A further 1 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.

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 £88,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.56% 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.

The 2021 census counted 242,088 residents in Oldham across 93,140 households. 60.8% of those households own their home and 38.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

20 state and independent schools have a OL9 postcode: 15 primary, 4 secondary, 1 16 plus. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Redwood, Oldham sits below that national figure — -44.1%.

Within Oldham the street ranks 1405 of 2309 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £90,000 (-2.2%).

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 £7,500 to £410,000. 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.

Redwood, 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.
