Latchford market report WA4 5, Warrington

The WA4 5 (Latchford) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 4,748 registered sales in WA4 5 (Warrington) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: the 2026 median for WA4 5 (Warrington) is £542,500, from 46 registered sales, up 32% on five years earlier; the mean is £555,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,900 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 4,748 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

WA4 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside WA4 (Warrington). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What a home in WA4 5 sells for

In the WA4 5 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £542,500, from 46 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £555,700, sitting almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.

Price per square metre in WA4 5

Measured by floor area, the last five years of WA4 5 sales average about £3,900 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.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, WA4 5 runs 90% above it.

In cash terms the typical WA4 5 home went from £132,700 in 1995 to £542,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 88%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2005. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2010 (+22.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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.

Sales activity in WA4 5

The register shows 46 WA4 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 138 sales a year recently, against 169 a year before 2008. 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.

What kind of market WA4 5 is

Only 46 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WA4 5 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. Within WA4, this sector trades 73% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

The rental side of WA4 5

For renting purposes WA4 5 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 £542,500 median sold price, £885 a month is £10,620 a year, a gross yield of 2.0%: 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
