In cash terms the typical WR9 0 home went from £67,200 in 1995 to £460,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 215%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WR9 0 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 2006 (+39.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−24.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WR9 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.2% | −7.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.2% |
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.
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.
The register shows 25 WR9 0 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 81 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 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 WR9 0 trades
This is a thin market: 25 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. 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 WR9 district median, WR9 0 sits 41% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of WR9 0
WR9 0 falls under Wychavon, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £938 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £658 a month here against £1,546 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Wychavon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £460,000 median purchase price, a rent of £938 a month (£11,256 a year) works out at a 2.4% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in WR
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WR area, 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.
| 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left 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.
