In cash terms the typical PR2 3 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 84%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 22% 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 3 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 (+37.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−11.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.2% | −4.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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 3
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 84 PR2 3 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 332 sales a year before the financial crisis and 187 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.
Rents around PR2 3
PR2 3 falls under Preston, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £782 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £573 a month here against £1,240 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Preston
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £200,000 median purchase price, a rent of £782 a month (£9,384 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

What another bedroom costs in PR
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PR area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
