In cash terms the typical WA10 6 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £182,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 87%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 29% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WA10 6 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 (+41.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−24.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WA10 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −24.7% | −26.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.2% | −6.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.1% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 34 WA10 6 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 122 sales a year before the financial crisis and 87 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.
The shape of the WA10 6 market
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WA10 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around WA10 6
The local authority for WA10 6 is St. Helens, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £790 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Average monthly rent by size, St. Helens
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £182,500 median sold price, £790 a month is £9,480 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.

Moving up a bedroom in WA: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WA area. 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 | — | £265,000 | £385,000 (+45%) | £645,000 (+68%) | £1,000,000 (+55%) |

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
