In cash terms the typical WA5 9 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £226,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 89%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WA5 9 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 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2022 (−17.5%). 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) | −15.5% | −17.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.4% | −5.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 17 sales completed in WA5 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 132 sales a year before the financial crisis and 48 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the WA5 9 market
Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WA5 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within WA5, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around WA5 9
The local authority for WA5 9 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 £226,000 median purchase price, a rent of £885 a month (£10,620 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

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.
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
