Bamber Bridge market report PR5 5, Preston
The PR5 5 (Bamber Bridge) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,530 sales registered with HM Land Registry in PR5 5 (Preston) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 53 registered 2026 sales put the PR5 5 (Preston) median at £182,000, up 17% on five years earlier, with a mean of £197,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,360 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,530 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
A postcode sector like PR5 5 is a single group of streets within PR5 (Preston), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

| 1996 | £45,000 | £94,903 | 207 |
| 1995 | £46,800 | £101,736 | 205 |
In cash terms the typical PR5 5 home went from £46,800 in 1995 to £182,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 79%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PR5 5 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 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PR5 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.2% | −6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
PR5 5 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 241 sales a year before the financial crisis and 129 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around PR5 5
PR5 5 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.
Against the £182,000 median purchase price, a rent of £793 a month (£9,516 a year) works out at a 5.2% 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.
What kind of market PR5 5 is
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.
