In cash terms the typical WA5 1 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 153%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 6% 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 WA5 1 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 2002 (+32.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−20.1%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +10.0% | +7.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.5% | +0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in WA5 1
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 71 WA5 1 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 338 sales a year before the financial crisis and 143 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 WA5 1 market
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. Against the WA5 district median, WA5 1 sits 15% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of WA5 1
WA5 1 falls under Warrington, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £885 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £663 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,436 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Warrington
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £885 a month (£10,620 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: WA prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WA area. 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%) |
| Terraced | £134,000 | £145,000 (+8%) | £190,000 (+31%) | £360,000 (+89%) | £675,500 (+88%) |
| Flat | £118,787 | £180,000 (+52%) | £350,000 (+94%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
