In cash terms the typical PR26 6 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 124%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PR26 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 2001 (+69.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−19.7%). 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) | +11.5% | +8.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.7% | −0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
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.
PR26 6 recorded 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 85 sales a year over the last five years against 64 before the financial crisis. 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.
The shape of the PR26 6 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.
What homes rent for around PR26 6
For renting purposes PR26 6 sits in South Ribble. The ONS average private rent there is £793 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £553 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,251 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £290,000 median sold price, £793 a month is £9,516 a year, a gross yield of 3.3%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in PR: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the PR area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
