| 1996 | £33,000 | £69,596 | 67 |
| 1995 | £33,000 | £71,737 | 69 |
In cash terms the typical WA10 2 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £140,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 95%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 33% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WA10 2 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 (+58.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−22.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.6% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.6% | −3.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
WA10 2 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 119 sales a year before the financial crisis and 48 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.
How WA10 2 trades
This is a thin market: 27 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within WA10, this sector trades 18% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around WA10 2
WA10 2 falls under St. Helens, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £790 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £581 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,275 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, St. Helens
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £140,000 median purchase price, a rent of £790 a month (£9,480 a year) works out at a 6.8% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in WA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WA 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.
