In cash terms the typical WA15 7 home went from £83,000 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 94%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 26% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WA15 7 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 2000 (+35.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−23.1%). 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) | −14.9% | −16.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in WA15 7
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 50 sales completed in WA15 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 236 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 tenants pay around WA15 7
WA15 7 falls under Trafford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,362 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £938 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,098 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Trafford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £350,000 median sold price, £1,362 a month is £16,344 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.
Reading the WA15 7 market
Only 50 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WA15 7 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. Within WA15, this sector trades 30% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

The price of an extra bedroom in WA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WA area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £265,000 | £385,000 (+45%) | £645,000 (+68%) | £1,000,000 (+55%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
