Price per square metre in FY5

| 1995 | £49,000 | £106,518 | 888 |
In cash terms the typical FY5 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £177,500 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 67%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 25% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the FY5 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+27.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−6.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.4% | −0.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 56% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £277,500 against £86,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 747 sales completed in FY5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,337 sales a year before the financial crisis and 814 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the FY5 market
Among the 8 measurable districts of its area, FY5 ranks 3 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
What homes rent for around FY5
FY5 falls under Wyre, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £726 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £515 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,217, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wyre
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£726 a month is £8,712 a year, which against the £177,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The price of an extra bedroom in FY
What homes of each size actually sold for across the FY area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £225,000 | £290,995 (+29%) | £420,000 (+44%) | £603,750 (+44%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
