In cash terms the typical PR2 2 home went from £39,200 in 1995 to £134,000 in 2026, roughly 3.4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 57%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 32% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PR2 2 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 (+30.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PR2 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.1% | +0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.9% | −1.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PR2 2
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.
The register shows 54 PR2 2 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 335 sales a year before the financial crisis and 121 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.
What tenants pay around PR2 2
The local authority for PR2 2 is Preston, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £782 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £573 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,240 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Preston
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £134,000 median purchase price, a rent of £782 a month (£9,384 a year) works out at a 7.0% 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.
How PR2 2 trades
This is a thin market: 54 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. Within PR2, this sector trades 31% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
