WN3 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside WN3 (Wigan). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical WN3 6 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 115%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WN3 6 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 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−8.1%). 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) | −0.2% | −2.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in WN3 6
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 66 WN3 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 284 sales a year before the financial crisis and 142 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the WN3 6 market
Within WN3, this sector trades 16% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around WN3 6
The local authority for WN3 6 is Wigan, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £215,000 median purchase price, a rent of £741 a month (£8,892 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.

What another bedroom costs in WN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WN area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) | — |
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.
