In cash terms the typical PR4 0 home went from £74,900 in 1995 to £282,500 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 74%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 31% 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 PR4 0 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 (+41.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−13.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PR4 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.7% | +0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 114 sales completed in PR4 0. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 352 sales a year over the last five years against 177 before the financial crisis. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the PR4 0 market

Set against the £282,500 median sold price, £782 a month is £9,384 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.

These cover the whole PR4 district, not just PR4 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
43% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

- Drumacre Lane East, Longton, Preston,...
- Moreton Road, PRESTON, Lancashire, PR4
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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. 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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
