WA2 8 sold prices: where the market stands

In the WA2 8 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £262,500, from 27 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £277,300, sitting somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

Price per square metre in WA2 8

Measured by floor area, the last five years of WA2 8 sales average about £2,800 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts WA2 8 8% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical WA2 8 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £262,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 168%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2001; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2001 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+111.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2002 (−26.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

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

The register shows 27 WA2 8 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 146 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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.

How WA2 8 trades

This is a thin market: 27 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. 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. Against the WA2 district median, WA2 8 sits 34% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Rents around WA2 8

For renting purposes WA2 8 sits in Warrington. The ONS average private rent there is £885 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £663 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,436, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £262,500 median sold price, £885 a month is £10,620 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: 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.

Common questions on WA2 8 (Dallam)

Will WA2 8 prices rise from here?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 31% over five years in cash and up 3% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Method, briefly: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0) supplies every sale, geocoded to address level; CPIH from the ONS restates prices in today's money; ONS local-authority figures supply the rents. Medians of real sales, not valuations. No part of this page is financial advice.
