In cash terms the typical WA10 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £170,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 96%, 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 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WA10 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 (+34.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WA10 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.6% | −7.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £320,000 against £111,200 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

How many homes change hands in WA10
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 431 WA10 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 819 sales a year before the financial crisis and 456 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.
What homes rent for around WA10
The local authority for WA10 is St. Helens, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £170,000 median purchase price, a rent of £790 a month (£9,480 a year) works out at a 5.6% 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.

What another bedroom costs in WA
Real sold prices by size across the WA area, straight 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 | — | £265,000 | £385,000 (+45%) | £645,000 (+68%) | £1,000,000 (+55%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
