How Victoria Street, Oldham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Victoria 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 | £32,950 | £73,165 |
| 2000s | 9 | £50,000 | £91,085 |
| 2010s | 6 | £83,000 | £117,030 |
| 2020s | 1 | £154,950 | £158,318 |
The highest yearly median on record for Victoria Street, Oldham is £154,950 in 2024; the lowest is £28,500 in 1997. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £31,225 to £154,950.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £69,334, so the real change over the whole record is +135.2% — about +2.99% 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: +86.7% in cash against +34.7% 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.

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 Victoria 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. Victoria 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 | 169 | 84.9% | £65,000 | £14,750 – £173,000 |
| Semi-detached | 29 | 14.6% | £52,950 | £18,000 – £185,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Victoria Street, Oldham
163 of the sales on record are leasehold and 36 freehold — 81.9% 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 £56,000 and the median freehold sale £87,500 — a gap of +56.3%. 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 | 163 | 81.9% | £56,000 |
| Freehold | 36 | 18.1% | £87,500 |
A further 11 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 £65,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 17.00% 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 1800 of 2309 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £90,000 (-27.8%).

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 Victoria Street, Oldham house prices at their highest?
