In cash terms the typical L39 5 home went from £90,300 in 1995 to £318,800 in 2026, roughly 3.5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 62%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 32% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the L39 5 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 2002 (+37.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−20.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.6% | −9.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in L39 5
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 24 L39 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 61 sales a year recently, against 67 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
How L39 5 trades
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes L39 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the L39 district median, L39 5 sits 14% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around L39 5
L39 5 falls under West Lancashire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £799 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £584 a month here against £1,225 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Lancashire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £318,800 median purchase price, a rent of £799 a month (£9,588 a year) works out at a 3.0% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

The price of an extra bedroom in L
Real sold prices by size across the L area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £247,500 | £342,995 (+39%) | £545,000 (+59%) | £755,000 (+39%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
