In cash terms the typical PR4 4 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £255,200 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 96%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PR4 4 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 2014 (+41.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−15.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −15.3% | −17.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −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.
Sales activity in PR4 4
Sales per year, counted
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, 30 sales completed in PR4 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 118 sales a year before the financial crisis and 82 a year over the last five. 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.
Reading the PR4 4 market
Only 30 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PR4 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
Rents around PR4 4
PR4 4 falls under South Ribble, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £793 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £553 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,251 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, South Ribble
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £255,200 median sold price, £793 a month is £9,516 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: 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.

How much did a house sell for in PR4 4 (Becconsall)?
Are property prices falling in PR4 4 (Becconsall)?
Is PR4 4 (Becconsall) a good place to buy a house?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 19% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
PR4's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 78 homes on the market right now, from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole PR4 district, not just PR4 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 43% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Harvester Drive, Cottam, Preston, Lan...
- 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.

What another bedroom costs in PR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PR area. 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
