Latchford market report WA4 4, Warrington

The standing WA4 4 (Latchford) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 1,809 sales registered with HM Land Registry in WA4 4 (Warrington) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: 17 registered 2026 sales put the WA4 4 (Warrington) median at £385,000, down 8% on five years earlier, with a mean of £437,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,510 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 1,809 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

A postcode sector like WA4 4 is a single group of streets within WA4 (Warrington), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

Today's WA4 4 prices, from the sold record

Take the 17 registered 2026 sales in WA4 4 and the middle price, the median, is £385,000. The mean lands at £437,400, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

What a square metre costs in WA4 4

A square metre of WA4 4 home has cost about £3,510 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, WA4 4 runs 35% above it.

In cash terms the typical WA4 4 home went from £100,000 in 1995 to £385,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 77%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 30% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

The strongest year on record here is 2001 (+36.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−20.7%). 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

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.

The turnover behind the prices

Over the last twelve months of data, 17 sales completed in WA4 4. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 69 sales a year recently, against 65 a year before 2008. 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 kind of market WA4 4 is

Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WA4 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the WA4 district median, WA4 4 sits 23% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

What tenants pay around WA4 4

WA4 4 falls under Warrington, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £885 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £385,000 median sold price, £885 a month is £10,620 a year, a gross yield of 2.8%: 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.
