In cash terms the typical WR13 5 home went from £95,000 in 1995 to £295,000 in 2026, roughly 3.1 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 43%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 49% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WR13 5 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 2000 (+38.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−28.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WR13 5 has returned, per year

How many homes change hands in WR13 5
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 19 sales completed in WR13 5. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 49 sales a year recently, against 53 a year before 2008. 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.
Reading the WR13 5 market
This is a thin market: 19 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the WR13 district median, WR13 5 sits 19% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around WR13 5
The local authority for WR13 5 is Herefordshire, County of, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £809 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £587 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,326, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Herefordshire, County of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £295,000 median sold price, £809 a month is £9,708 a year, a gross yield of 3.3%: 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.
