PR2 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PR2 (Preston). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical PR2 6 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £167,800 in 2026, roughly 3.1 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 40%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PR2 6 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 2005 (+20.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−17.0%). 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) | +12.0% | +9.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.6% | +0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.3% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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 6
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 6 recorded 49 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 261 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around PR2 6
The local authority for PR2 6 is Preston, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £782 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £167,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. 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.
The shape of the PR2 6 market
This is a thin market: 49 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. Against the PR2 district median, PR2 6 sits 14% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs in PR
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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
