In cash terms the typical PR2 1 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £183,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 75%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 19% 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 PR2 1 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 (+30.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.8%). 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) | +1.7% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in PR2 1
The year-by-year sales count
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.
PR2 1 recorded 77 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 324 sales a year before the financial crisis and 165 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.
What tenants pay around PR2 1
For renting purposes PR2 1 sits in Preston. The ONS average private rent there is £782 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £573 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,240, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Preston
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£782 a month is £9,384 a year, which against the £183,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in PR: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PR area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £243,000 | £325,000 (+34%) | £475,000 (+46%) | £654,500 (+38%) |
