In cash terms the typical WN1 3 home went from £38,200 in 1995 to £162,800 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 96%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 4% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WN1 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 2004 (+35.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−14.4%). 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) | +6.8% | +4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +8.8% | +3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +7.4% | +3.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in WN1 3
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.
WN1 3 recorded 36 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 165 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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.
How WN1 3 trades
Only 36 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WN1 3 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 WN1, this sector trades 12% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around WN1 3
WN1 3 falls under Wigan, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £741 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £538 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,137 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wigan
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £162,800 median sold price, £741 a month is £8,892 a year, a gross yield of 5.5%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in WN: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WN 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 | — | £230,000 | £315,000 (+37%) | £465,000 (+48%) | £692,500 (+49%) |
| Semi-detached | £168,000 | £180,000 (+7%) | £220,000 (+22%) | £289,995 (+32%) | — |
| Terraced | £125,750 | £130,000 (+3%) | £147,000 (+13%) | £190,000 (+29%) | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
