WN2 4 is one sector of WN2 (Wigan): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical WN2 4 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 174%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the WN2 4 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 (+40.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−9.5%). 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) | +14.0% | +11.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +8.4% | +3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.9% | +2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.5% |
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 WN2 4
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WN2 4 recorded 75 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 318 sales a year before the financial crisis and 167 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 tenants pay around WN2 4
For renting purposes WN2 4 sits in Wigan. The ONS average private rent there is £741 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £741 a month (£8,892 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.
How WN2 4 trades
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. Against the WN2 district median, WN2 4 sits 16% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: WN prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WN area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) | — |
| Terraced | £125,750 | £130,000 (+3%) | £147,000 (+13%) | £190,000 (+29%) | — |
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.

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.
