In cash terms the typical WA11 0 home went from £46,500 in 1995 to £172,200 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 70%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WA11 0 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 (+50.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−18.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.5% | −2.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.8% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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
Sales per year, counted
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.
The register shows 82 WA11 0 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 287 sales a year before the financial crisis and 168 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 tenants pay around WA11 0
WA11 0 falls under St. Helens, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£790 a month is £9,480 a year, which against the £172,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: WA prices by size
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.
