In cash terms the typical WA5 4 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £165,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 81%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 35% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WA5 4 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 2005 (+38.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−17.5%). 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) | −17.5% | −19.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
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
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 19 WA5 4 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 66 sales a year before the financial crisis and 49 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the WA5 4 market
This is a thin market: 19 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. 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 4 sits 37% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around WA5 4
The local authority for WA5 4 is Warrington, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £165,000 median purchase price, a rent of £885 a month (£10,620 a year) works out at a 6.4% 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.

What another bedroom costs in WA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WA area, 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.
| 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
