In cash terms the typical PR2 7 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £242,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 132%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2024. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PR2 7 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 2011 (+83.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2002 (−39.9%). 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) | −5.2% | −7.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.6% | +3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
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 24 PR2 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 73 sales a year recently, against 74 a year before 2008. 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 tenants pay around PR2 7
PR2 7 falls under Preston, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £242,500 median purchase price, a rent of £782 a month (£9,384 a year) works out at a 3.9% 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.
The shape of the PR2 7 market
This is a thin market: 24 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 7 sits 25% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in PR: the cost
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
