PR1 0 is one sector of PR1 (Preston): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

| 1995 | £57,500 | £124,996 | 122 |
In cash terms the typical PR1 0 home went from £57,500 in 1995 to £304,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 144%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 4% 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 PR1 0 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 2003 (+36.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.9%). 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) | +14.9% | +12.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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 PR1 0
How many homes change hands
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 47 PR1 0 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 188 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 a year over the last five. 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.
Rents around PR1 0
PR1 0 falls under South Ribble, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £793 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £553 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,251, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, South Ribble
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £304,500 median sold price, £793 a month is £9,516 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
Reading the PR1 0 market
This is a thin market: 47 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within PR1, this sector trades 79% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Are property prices falling in PR1 0 (City Centre)?
Is PR1 0 (City Centre) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in PR1 0 (City Centre)?
Are PR1 0 prices heading up or down?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 22% over five years in cash but down 4% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.

Bedroom by bedroom: PR prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PR area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £243,000 | £325,000 (+34%) | £475,000 (+46%) | £654,500 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £164,975 | £189,950 (+15%) | £228,000 (+20%) | £295,000 (+29%) | £410,000 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £126,180 | £138,000 (+9%) | £167,850 (+22%) | £233,000 (+39%) | £300,000 (+29%) |
| Flat | £98,000 | £130,000 (+33%) | £195,000 (+50%) | £280,000 (+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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
