| 1996 | £65,500 | £138,137 | 372 |
| 1995 | £71,600 | £155,647 | 351 |
In cash terms the typical WA5 3 home went from £71,600 in 1995 to £301,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 94%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WA5 3 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 (+33.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.3%). 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) | +0.5% | −1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 112 sales completed in WA5 3. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 266 sales a year recently, against 264 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.
Rents around WA5 3
For renting purposes WA5 3 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.
Set against the £301,500 median sold price, £885 a month is £10,620 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: WA prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WA area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
