In cash terms the typical WN6 0 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £253,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 66%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WN6 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 2003 (+27.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−12.5%). 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) | +1.2% | −1.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
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 WN6 0
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.
WN6 0 recorded 72 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 276 sales a year recently, against 264 a year before 2008. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the WN6 0 market
Within WN6, this sector trades 12% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

WN6 0 falls under Wigan, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£741 a month is £8,892 a year, which against the £253,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in WN: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WN area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £230,000 | £315,000 (+37%) | £465,000 (+48%) | £692,500 (+49%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
