The going rate for a home in WR13
36 sales were registered in WR13 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £363,800. The mean works out at £441,200, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
What a square metre costs in WR13
Measured by floor area, the last five years of WR13 sales average about £3,780 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so WR13 trades 28% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical WR13 home went from £105,000 in 1995 to £363,800 in 2026, roughly 3.5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 59%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 33% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WR13 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−19.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 68% of the typed total. In 2023, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £535,000 against £230,000 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −19.2% | −21.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.3% | −3.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.1% | −1.6% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 99 WR13 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 105 sales a year recently, against 121 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 market
Only 99 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WR13 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
Rents around WR13
For renting purposes WR13 sits in Herefordshire, County of. The ONS average private rent there is £809 a month (May 2026). 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 £363,800 median sold price, £809 a month is £9,708 a year, a gross yield of 2.7%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in WR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WR area. 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 | — | £318,351 | £413,000 (+30%) | £610,000 (+48%) | £810,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £230,000 | £260,000 (+13%) | £305,000 (+17%) | £400,000 (+31%) | £575,000 (+44%) |

| Flat | £128,000 | £187,000 (+46%) | £279,000 (+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.
