In cash terms the typical WA3 7 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £294,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 93%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WA3 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 2003 (+40.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−33.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WA3 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.0% | −11.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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
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 register shows 20 WA3 7 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 68 sales a year before the financial crisis and 45 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.
Reading the WA3 7 market
This is a thin market: 20 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. Within WA3, this sector trades 16% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around WA3 7
For renting purposes WA3 7 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.
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 £294,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: WA prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the WA area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
