Adlington market report PR7 1, Chorley

The standing PR7 1 (Adlington) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: the typical home in PR7 1 (Chorley) sold for £240,000 in 2026, the median of 29 registered sales, up 9% on five years earlier.

In cash terms the typical PR7 1 home went from £48,500 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 128%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

Year-on-year change in the PR7 1 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 2003 (+54.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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.

Over the last twelve months of data, 29 sales completed in PR7 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 128 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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.

Rents around PR7 1

The local authority for PR7 1 is Chorley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £779 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £584 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,301, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

£779 a month is £9,348 a year, which against the £240,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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 PR7 1 market

Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PR7 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the PR7 district median, PR7 1 sits 9% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

On the market in PR7 today

This is what you could actually buy today: 52 homes currently on the market from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

Of everything listed here, 21% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

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

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.

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.
