In cash terms the typical PR2 5 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £267,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 105%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 33% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PR2 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 2003 (+86.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−16.6%). 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) | −10.8% | −12.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.9% | −6.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.2% |
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 5
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
PR2 5 recorded 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 76 sales a year recently, against 89 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 PR2 5 trades
This is a thin market: 28 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. Against the PR2 district median, PR2 5 sits 38% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around PR2 5
For renting purposes PR2 5 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.
Against the £267,500 median purchase price, a rent of £782 a month (£9,384 a year) works out at a 3.5% 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: PR prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the PR area, straight 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.
