In cash terms the typical WA15 9 home went from £93,800 in 1995 to £741,200 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 263%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WA15 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 2007 (+40.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−11.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WA15 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +3.7% | +1.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.2% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +4.0% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.6% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.7% | +1.8% |
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.
Sales activity in WA15 9
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 52 sales completed in WA15 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 172 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 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 WA15 9
The local authority for WA15 9 is Trafford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,362 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £938 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,098, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Trafford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,362 a month is £16,344 a year, which against the £741,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.2%. 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.
What kind of market WA15 9 is
This is a thin market: 52 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within WA15, this sector trades 48% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 19% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
What another bedroom costs in WA
Real sold prices by size across the WA area, straight 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 | £225,000 | £260,000 (+16%) | £325,000 (+25%) | £436,995 (+34%) | £680,000 (+56%) |
| Semi-detached | £170,000 | £192,000 (+13%) | £232,500 (+21%) | £290,000 (+25%) | £410,000 (+41%) |
| Terraced | £129,975 | £140,000 (+8%) | £160,000 (+14%) | £249,475 (+56%) | £435,000 (+74%) |
| Flat | £105,000 | £140,000 (+33%) | £220,000 (+57%) | £315,000 (+43%) | £585,000 (+86%) |
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.
