In cash terms the typical PR2 9 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 78%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 27% 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 9 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 (+37.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−10.0%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
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
How many homes change hands
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.
The register shows 67 PR2 9 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 277 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.
What homes rent for around PR2 9
PR2 9 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.

Set against the £225,000 median sold price, £782 a month is £9,384 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The price of an extra bedroom in PR
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PR area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £164,975 | £189,950 (+15%) | £228,000 (+20%) | £295,000 (+29%) | £410,000 (+39%) |

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.
