In cash terms the typical PR4 1 home went from £48,500 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 90%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PR4 1 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 (+44.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−7.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.0% | −9.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
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.
Sales activity in PR4 1
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, 76 sales completed in PR4 1. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 180 sales a year recently, against 202 a year before 2008. 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.
What kind of market PR4 1 is
Within PR4, this sector trades 20% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around PR4 1
For renting purposes PR4 1 sits in Fylde. The ONS average private rent there is £858 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £601 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,385, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Fylde
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£858 a month is £10,296 a year, which against the £200,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Bedroom by bedroom: PR prices by size
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left 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.
