In cash terms the typical WS11 1 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £269,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 129%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WS11 1 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 2003 (+38.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−13.4%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.5% | −0.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WS11 1 recorded 42 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 157 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 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.
How WS11 1 trades
This is a thin market: 42 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. Against the WS11 district median, WS11 1 sits 22% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around WS11 1
WS11 1 falls under Cannock Chase, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £848 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £576 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,319, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cannock Chase
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £269,000 median purchase price, a rent of £848 a month (£10,176 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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: WS prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WS area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £370,000 (+35%) | £572,400 (+55%) | £821,400 (+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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
