Elton sold prices at a glance

*The latest months are still filling up. Sales usually take a few weeks to several months to be registered, so the recent count will rise as Land Registry catches up. Don't read the lower number as fewer sales.

Prices by property type

Small numbers of sales can swing a lot from year to year, so treat changes based on only a handful of sales with care.

Where prices sat

The highest recorded sale was £580,000, on Lodge Side. Around three in four Elton sales (143 of 180) were leasehold, which is common in this part of Greater Manchester.

Chris's view

The 13% fall in Elton's median looks alarming, but it isn't what it seems. Last year's figures included 21 brand-new homes and many more semi-detached sales. This year no new-builds have been recorded and the mix has tilted towards terraces and flats. Compare like with like and prices are almost unchanged: terraced homes at £170,000 and semis at around £256,000 both match last year, and the overall average is within 1%. Elton is holding its value.

About these figures

• Source: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, standard residential sales at full market value (category A). Repossessions, buy-to-let company purchases and other non-standard transfers (category B) are excluded, as are duplicate records of the same sale.
• These are all recorded sales in the area, by every agent and private sale. They are not Bowman Estates sales unless we say so.
• Land Registry data runs behind the market. Sales typically appear a few weeks to several months after completion, and the latest month published here is August 2026.
• Boundary: as described under "Area covered" above (postcode sectors with sales: BL8 1, BL8 2, BL9 0). Each postcode is counted on only one Bowman Estates sold-prices page, so no sale is double counted.
