About these figures

Manchester's figures come from 8,718 standard sales, each placed in the council area by its own postcode. The 16 districts listed are those with most of their postcodes in Manchester, so their sales add up to 8,101 instead (how we build council pages).

Updated 15 October 2026 with sales recorded to August 2026. Next update due in late November 2026.
