Where price per square metre rose most in 10 years
OL8 (Hollinwood) leads this table: its median price per m² changed by +9.3% a year over 9.8 years, now £2,300 per m². WV13 completes the top 50 at +6.5% a year. 1,638 postcode districts in England & Wales rose over the period and had at least 100 matched sales in the 12 months to August 2026. That matched count is the denominator the ranked median is computed over.
Ranked by the compound annual change in median price per square metre over about 10 years, across England & Wales. Only districts whose price per square metre rose appear here. 1 otherwise-eligible district is left out because its sales window is not 12 months.

Each trend line is that district’s own quarterly median price per square metre, scaled to its own range: compare directions, not heights. Gaps are quarters with too few matched sales to publish a median.
Frequently asked questions
How is this table ranked?
Postcode districts are ranked by their median price per square metre, the middle value of sold price divided by EPC floor area across every matched sale in the 12 months to August 2026. Every district shown had at least 100 matched sales in that window, so a rank is never built on a handful of transactions.
Why is a district missing from this table?
Either it had fewer than 100 matched sales in the 12 months to August 2026 (too thin a sample to rank honestly), or it sits outside England & Wales. The table shows the top 50 of 1,638 districts that qualified.
How current are these figures?
The whole dataset is rebuilt monthly from the current HM Land Registry release; this table covers sales in the 12 months to August 2026. Registrations lag sales by 2–8 weeks. The newest sales appear a month or two after completion.
