WN6 9 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside WN6 (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 WN6 9 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £445,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 288%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not just more expensive on paper.

Year-on-year change in the WN6 9 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 2026 (+85.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−30.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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.

WN6 9 recorded 21 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 101 sales a year before the financial crisis and 63 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.

What homes rent for around WN6 9

WN6 9 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.

Set against the £445,000 median sold price, £741 a month is £8,892 a year, a gross yield of 2.0%: 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.

Will WN6 9 prices rise from here?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 111% over five years in cash and up 71% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
