In cash terms the typical WA5 8 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £341,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 220%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 8% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WA5 8 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 1999 (+37.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WA5 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +20.2% | +17.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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
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.
WA5 8 recorded 45 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 169 sales a year before the financial crisis and 88 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 8
The local authority for WA5 8 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.
£885 a month is £10,620 a year, which against the £341,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
How WA5 8 trades
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. Against the WA5 district median, WA5 8 sits 31% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in WA: the cost
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.

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

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.
