In cash terms the typical WS13 8 home went from £70,500 in 1995 to £362,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 137%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. 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 WS13 8 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 (+38.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−13.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.7% | −3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in WS13 8
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.
WS13 8 recorded 66 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 192 sales a year recently, against 210 a year before 2008. 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.
The rental side of WS13 8
WS13 8 falls under Lichfield, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,096 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £737 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,690 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Lichfield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,096 a month is £13,152 a year, which against the £362,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in WS: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WS area. 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.
