In cash terms the typical WR4 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £238,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 92%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WR4 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 (+22.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−5.7%). 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, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £375,000 against £121,200 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 264 WR4 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 671 sales a year before the financial crisis and 268 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around WR4
The local authority for WR4 is Worcester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £965 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £703 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,525 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £238,000 median purchase price, a rent of £965 a month (£11,580 a year) works out at a 4.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in WR: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WR area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £318,351 | £413,000 (+30%) | £610,000 (+48%) | £810,000 (+33%) |

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.
