| 1996 | £54,000 | £113,884 | 77 |
| 1995 | £54,000 | £117,388 | 58 |
In cash terms the typical WN6 9 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 147%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2010, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2010 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
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 2003 (+46.7% 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.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +16.2% | +13.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.7% | +1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 35 WN6 9 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 101 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 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 WN6 9 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WN6 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within WN6, this sector trades 29% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around WN6 9
For renting purposes WN6 9 sits in West Lancashire. The ONS average private rent there is £799 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £584 a month here against £1,225 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Lancashire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£799 a month is £9,588 a year, which against the £290,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.3%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: WN prices by size
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%) | — |
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.
