In cash terms the typical WR3 7 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £338,900 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 162%, 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 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WR3 7 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 2001 (+30.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−11.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.3% | +5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in WR3 7
How many homes change hands
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.
WR3 7 recorded 64 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 263 sales a year before the financial crisis and 156 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.
How WR3 7 trades
Against the WR3 district median, WR3 7 sits 15% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around WR3 7
For renting purposes WR3 7 sits in Worcester. The ONS average private rent there is £965 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £703 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,525, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£965 a month is £11,580 a year, which against the £338,900 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in WR
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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
