The most expensive streets in Heywood

Heywood's priciest addresses, ranked by median sold price over the last five years — from HM Land Registry records, not asking prices. Every street links to its full sale-by-sale history.

Harold Lees Road tops the table at a £450,000 median (top recorded sale: £480,000) — about 2.6× the £174,000 median for Heywood as a whole. Priced by floor area it works out at roughly £1,822 per square metre, which separates streets that are expensive because homes are big from streets where every metre costs more. Plough Drive and Mercers Road follow at £411,745 and £410,000. Each row links to the street's own page, with every recorded sale behind the figure.

Median sold price per street over the last five years, HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (standard market sales; streets with at least 5 recorded sales). £/m² is the street's median of sold price ÷ EPC floor area, shown where at least three sales match an EPC — the like-for-like measure that separates big homes from expensive ones. Street-level medians move with what happens to sell — treat them as a robust guide, not a valuation of any home.

How is this ranking calculated?

From HM Land Registry Price Paid Data: each street's median sold price over the last five years, standard market sales only, with a floor of 5 recorded sales so a single mansion sale doesn't crown a street. Streets are matched to Heywood using the Land Registry's own town field. Updated as new sales are registered.

Which street in Heywood costs the most per square metre?

Of Heywood's priciest streets, Workers Way (OL10) has the highest price per floor area at roughly £3,627/m² (median of sold price ÷ EPC floor area). A street can top the headline table simply because its homes are large — £/m² shows where each metre itself costs the most.
