In cash terms the typical PR5 4 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £167,500 in 2026, roughly 3.2 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 48%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 33% below that. Someone who bought at the 2008 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PR5 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 2004 (+30.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−16.0%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −16.0% | −18.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.0% | −1.8% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 62 sales completed in PR5 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 323 sales a year before the financial crisis and 163 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 homes rent for around PR5 4
PR5 4 falls under South Ribble, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £793 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £553 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,251, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, South Ribble
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £167,500 median sold price, £793 a month is £9,516 a year, a gross yield of 5.7%: 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.

PR5's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 125 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole PR5 district, not just PR5 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
34% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: PR prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PR area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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%) |

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.

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.
