In cash terms the typical WA2 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £195,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 119%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 7% 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 WA2 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 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £375,000 against £110,000 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 341 WA2 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 762 sales a year before the financial crisis and 368 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around WA2
The local authority for WA2 is Warrington, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £885 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £663 a month here against £1,436 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Warrington
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £195,500 median purchase price, a rent of £885 a month (£10,620 a year) works out at a 5.4% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in WA
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WA area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £265,000 | £385,000 (+45%) | £645,000 (+68%) | £1,000,000 (+55%) |
