In cash terms the typical WR9 7 home went from £68,500 in 1995 to £374,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 151%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2004, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2004 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WR9 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 2000 (+27.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.0%). 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) | +9.2% | +6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 68 sales completed in WR9 7. 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 185 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.

Average monthly rent by size, Wychavon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £374,000 median purchase price, a rent of £938 a month (£11,256 a year) works out at a 3.0% 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.

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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £318,351 | £413,000 (+30%) | £610,000 (+48%) | £810,000 (+33%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
