In cash terms the typical PR4 2 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 84%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PR4 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 (+31.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−14.6%). 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) | −0.5% | −2.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 53 PR4 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 194 sales a year before the financial crisis and 144 a year over the last five. 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.
How PR4 2 trades
This is a thin market: 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the PR4 district median, PR4 2 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around PR4 2
For renting purposes PR4 2 sits in Fylde. The ONS average private rent there is £858 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £601 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,385 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Fylde
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £858 a month (£10,296 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

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. 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.
| 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%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
