In cash terms the typical WN3 4 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £125,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 80%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 40% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WN3 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 2006 (+54.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−27.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WN3 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −19.4% | −21.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.5% | −2.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
WN3 4 recorded 18 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 151 sales a year before the financial crisis and 49 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 WN3 4 is
This is a thin market: 18 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 WN3 district median, WN3 4 sits 32% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around WN3 4
WN3 4 falls under Wigan, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £741 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £125,000 median sold price, £741 a month is £8,892 a year, a gross yield of 7.1%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in WN: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WN area, 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.
| 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%) | — |

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