The WR14 4 (Upper Welland) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money.

No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: the 2026 median for WR14 4 (Malvern) is £325,000, from 31 registered sales, down 2% on five years earlier; the mean is £416,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,580 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,781 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

WR14 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside WR14 (Malvern). 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.

WR14 4 sold prices: where the market stands

The 2026 median for WR14 4 is £325,000, taken from 31 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £416,500, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.

WR14 4 prices by floor area

By floor space, homes in WR14 4 have sold for about £3,580 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts WR14 4 14% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical WR14 4 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 99%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+34.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.4%). 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

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.

Sales activity in WR14 4

The register shows 31 WR14 4 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 143 sales a year before the financial crisis and 89 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.

How WR14 4 trades

This is a thin market: 31 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Rents around WR14 4

WR14 4 falls under Malvern Hills, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £940 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £692 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,474, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

£940 a month is £11,280 a year, which against the £325,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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.

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.
