| 1996 | £60,000 | £126,537 | 110 |
| 1995 | £62,800 | £136,518 | 114 |
In cash terms the typical PR2 8 home went from £62,800 in 1995 to £252,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 85%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2010. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PR2 8 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 (+35.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−18.6%). 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) | +14.8% | +12.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 32 PR2 8 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 130 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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.
How PR2 8 trades
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PR2 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 8 sits 30% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around PR2 8
For renting purposes PR2 8 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.
£782 a month is £9,384 a year, which against the £252,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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.

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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £243,000 | £325,000 (+34%) | £475,000 (+46%) | £654,500 (+38%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
