WN5 0 prices by floor area

| 1996 | £32,000 | £67,487 | 98 |
| 1995 | £32,800 | £71,302 | 90 |
In cash terms the typical WN5 0 home went from £32,800 in 1995 to £161,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 127%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 4% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WN5 0 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 2012 (+42.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.0%). 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) | +1.1% | −1.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.3% | +0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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.
WN5 0 recorded 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 150 sales a year before the financial crisis and 79 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.
The rental side of WN5 0
WN5 0 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.
Against the £161,800 median purchase price, a rent of £741 a month (£8,892 a year) works out at a 5.5% 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 kind of market WN5 0 is
Only 28 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WN5 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within WN5, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

How much did a house sell for in WN5 0 (Billinge)?
Will WN5 0 prices rise from here?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 29% over five years in cash and flat after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in WN: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the WN area, straight 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.
