Abram market report WN2 3, Wigan
The standing WN2 3 (Abram) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,914 sales registered with HM Land Registry in WN2 3 (Wigan) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 56 registered 2026 sales put the WN2 3 (Wigan) median at £150,800, up 12% on five years earlier, with a mean of £177,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,970 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,914 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
A postcode sector like WN2 3 is a single group of streets within WN2 (Wigan), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

The WN2 3 median stands at £150,800 for 2026, built from 56 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £177,200, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
House prices per square metre in WN2 3
A square metre of WN2 3 home has cost about £1,970 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

In cash terms the typical WN2 3 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £150,800 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 83%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WN2 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 2003 (+57.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−13.2%). 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) | −5.8% | −8.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in WN2 3
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WN2 3 recorded 56 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 266 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 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.
What kind of market WN2 3 is
This is a thin market: 56 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the WN2 district median, WN2 3 sits 21% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around WN2 3
For renting purposes WN2 3 sits in Wigan. The ONS average private rent there is £741 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £538 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,137, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wigan
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£741 a month is £8,892 a year, which against the £150,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.9%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in WN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WN area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) | — |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
