The chart tracks the median Rayners Close, Stalybridge house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 to 2005. 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 Rayners Close, Stalybridge is £191,500 in 2005; the lowest is £78,000 in 1998. Across the full 8-year record the cash median has moved from £78,000 to £191,500.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £161,735, so the real change over the whole record is +115.7% — about +11.61% 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: +145.5% in cash against +115.7% 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.

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 Rayners Close, Stalybridge values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

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

122 of the sales on record are leasehold and 1 freehold — 99.2% 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 £101,450 and the median freehold sale £250,000 — a gap of +146.4%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -51.2%. 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Tameside, 45.6% of 116,464 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.0% 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 Tameside at £923 a month as of Jun 2026 — £679 for a one-bedroom home and £1,053 for three bedrooms.

Against the median sale of £105,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 10.45% 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.

The 2021 census counted 231,071 residents in Tameside across 99,527 households. 61.1% of those households own their home and 38.8% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

13 state and independent schools have a SK15 postcode: 11 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Within Stalybridge the street ranks 193 of 336 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £116,235 (-8.8%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,211 per square metre, across 14 of the 123 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

The full range on record runs from £48,500 to £315,000. 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.

Rayners Close, Stalybridge sits in Tameside, in the North West.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Tameside at 6.9 times median local earnings of £30,734 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.
