In cash terms the typical WN1 2 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 106%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 27% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WN1 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 2002 (+36.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.5% | −8.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.6% |
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 WN1 2
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.
WN1 2 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 208 sales a year before the financial crisis and 135 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 WN1 2 market
Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WN1 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within WN1, this sector trades 16% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around WN1 2
The local authority for WN1 2 is Wigan, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £741 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £538 a month here against £1,137 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Wigan
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £215,000 median sold price, £741 a month is £8,892 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in WN
Real sold prices by size across the WN area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
