In cash terms the typical PR4 6 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £289,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 129%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PR4 6 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 2002 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.6%). 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) | +3.1% | +0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.4% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
PR4 6 recorded 59 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 222 sales a year before the financial crisis and 155 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.
What kind of market PR4 6 is
Only 59 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PR4 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the PR4 district median, PR4 6 sits 15% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around PR4 6
For renting purposes PR4 6 sits in West Lancashire. The ONS average private rent there is £799 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £584 a month here against £1,225 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Lancashire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £289,000 median sold price, £799 a month is £9,588 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in PR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PR area. 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.
