In cash terms the typical WA5 2 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £257,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 126%: 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 12% 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 2 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 2001 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.5%). 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) | −2.8% | −5.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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 WA5 2
How many homes change hands
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 45 WA5 2 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 182 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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 rental side of WA5 2
The local authority for WA5 2 is Warrington, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Warrington
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £257,500 median purchase price, a rent of £885 a month (£10,620 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.
Reading the WA5 2 market
This is a thin market: 45 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. 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.
Common questions on WA5 2 (Burtonwood)
Is WA5 2 (Burtonwood) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in WA5 2 (Burtonwood)?
Are property prices falling in WA5 2 (Burtonwood)?
Will WA5 2 prices rise from here?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 17% over five years in cash but down 8% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Bedroom by bedroom: WA prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the WA area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £265,000 | £385,000 (+45%) | £645,000 (+68%) | £1,000,000 (+55%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

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.
