PR3 sold prices: where the market stands
Take the 248 registered 2026 sales in PR3 and the middle price, the median, is £260,000. The mean lands at £307,100, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
What a square metre costs in PR3
The last five years of sales put PR3 at roughly £2,690 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving PR3 9% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical PR3 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £260,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 99%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 28% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PR3 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 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £380,000 against £127,500 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.1% | −9.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.1% | −5.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in PR3
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 563 PR3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 782 sales a year over the last five years against 698 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
PR3 falls under Wyre, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £726 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £515 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,217 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wyre
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £260,000 median purchase price, a rent of £726 a month (£8,712 a year) works out at a 3.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market PR3 is

The price of an extra bedroom in PR
Real sold prices by size across the PR area, straight 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%) |
| Terraced | £126,180 | £138,000 (+9%) | £167,850 (+22%) | £233,000 (+39%) | £300,000 (+29%) |
| Flat | £98,000 | £130,000 (+33%) | £195,000 (+50%) | £280,000 (+44%) | — |
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.
