Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: the 2026 median for PR4 5 (Preston) is £287,500, from 38 registered sales, up 19% on five years earlier; the mean is £308,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,910 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 4,503 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

PR4 5 is one sector of PR4 (Preston): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What buyers actually paid in PR4 5

The PR4 5 median stands at £287,500 for 2026, built from 38 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £308,500, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

PR4 5 prices by floor area

Measured by floor area, the last five years of PR4 5 sales average about £2,910 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving PR4 5 1% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical PR4 5 home went from £62,800 in 1995 to £287,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 111%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+47.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

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.

The turnover behind the prices

Over the last twelve months of data, 38 sales completed in PR4 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 173 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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.

What tenants pay around PR4 5

PR4 5 falls under South Ribble, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £793 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £553 a month here against £1,251 for four or more bedrooms.

£793 a month is £9,516 a year, which against the £287,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.3%. 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.

The shape of the PR4 5 market

This is a thin market: 38 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. 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. Against the PR4 district median, PR4 5 sits 15% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

What people ask about PR4 5 (Becconsall)

Are PR4 5 prices heading up or down?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 19% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
