In cash terms the typical WR14 1 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £292,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 164%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WR14 1 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 2002 (+32.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−14.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +10.4% | +7.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Sales activity in WR14 1
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WR14 1 recorded 80 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 271 sales a year before the financial crisis and 176 a year over the last five. 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.
What homes rent for around WR14 1
WR14 1 falls under Malvern Hills, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £940 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £692 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,474 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Malvern Hills
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £292,500 median sold price, £940 a month is £11,280 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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 kind of market WR14 1 is
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 WR14 district median, WR14 1 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: WR prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the WR area, straight 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.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
