Eccleston market report WA10 4, St. Helens

The WA10 4 (Eccleston) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 5,070 registered sales in WA10 4 (St. Helens) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: 51 registered 2026 sales put the WA10 4 (St. Helens) median at £142,500, up 10% on five years earlier, with a mean of £180,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,950 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,070 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

WA10 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside WA10 (St. Helens). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What a home in WA10 4 sells for

The WA10 4 median stands at £142,500 for 2026, built from 51 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £180,500, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

WA10 4 prices by floor area

Per square metre, WA10 4 homes have averaged around £1,950 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so WA10 4 trades 50% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical WA10 4 home went from £37,200 in 1995 to £142,500 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 76%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 34% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+32.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−21.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

What WA10 4 has returned, per year

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.

Transaction volumes

WA10 4 recorded 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 224 sales a year before the financial crisis and 119 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 kind of market WA10 4 is

Only 51 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WA10 4 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. Within WA10, this sector trades 16% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

The rental side of WA10 4

For renting purposes WA10 4 sits in St. Helens. The ONS average private rent there is £790 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £581 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,275, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

£790 a month is £9,480 a year, which against the £142,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.7%. 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.

Common questions on WA10 4 (Eccleston)

Where do WA10 4 prices go next?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

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.
