In cash terms the typical PR26 7 home went from £45,200 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 180%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PR26 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 2004 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−16.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PR26 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.8% | +5.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.6% | +2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.5% | +2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PR26 7
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 27 sales completed in PR26 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 140 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of PR26 7
The local authority for PR26 7 is South Ribble, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £793 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Average monthly rent by size, South Ribble
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £275,000 median sold price, £793 a month is £9,516 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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.
What kind of market PR26 7 is
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PR26 7 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.

Moving up a bedroom in PR: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PR area, 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.
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

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.
