In cash terms the typical PR5 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £182,200 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 82%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PR5 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 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PR5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.9% | −11.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £295,000 against £105,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 522 PR5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,017 sales a year before the financial crisis and 579 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 tenants pay around PR5
The local authority for PR5 is South Ribble, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £182,200 median sold price, £793 a month is £9,516 a year, a gross yield of 5.2%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in PR
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PR area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
