In cash terms the typical WA12 9 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £208,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 133%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WA12 9 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 2014 (+23.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−8.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WA12 9 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
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WA12 9 recorded 64 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 314 sales a year before the financial crisis and 148 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.
What homes rent for around WA12 9
WA12 9 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.
Against the £208,000 median purchase price, a rent of £790 a month (£9,480 a year) works out at a 4.6% 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.

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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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.
