In cash terms the typical WA3 6 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 161%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the WA3 6 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 2003 (+31.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−8.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +15.9% | +13.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.3% | +1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.2% | +2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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, 44 sales completed in WA3 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 209 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 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.
The shape of the WA3 6 market
This is a thin market: 44 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.
The rental side of WA3 6
The local authority for WA3 6 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.
£885 a month is £10,620 a year, which against the £255,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in WA: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WA area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £265,000 | £385,000 (+45%) | £645,000 (+68%) | £1,000,000 (+55%) |
| Semi-detached | £180,000 | £210,000 (+17%) | £270,000 (+29%) | £440,000 (+63%) | £692,500 (+57%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
