In cash terms the typical PR3 2 home went from £64,000 in 1995 to £246,500 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 77%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 43% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

Year-on-year change in the PR3 2 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 (+35.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−18.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The year-by-year sales count

Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.

Over the last twelve months of data, 62 sales completed in PR3 2. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 193 sales a year over the last five years against 87 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.

What tenants pay around PR3 2

PR3 2 falls under Ribble Valley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £810 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £602 a month here against £1,386 for four or more bedrooms.

Set against the £246,500 median sold price, £810 a month is £9,720 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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.

On the market in PR3 today

The live side of the market holds 45 homes at the moment, listed by 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

46% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

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.

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.

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.

The risers and the fallers

The spread across the PR area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.
