What WS13 homes really sell for
The WS13 median stands at £325,000 for 2026, built from 209 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £355,100, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
WS13 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put WS13 at roughly £3,460 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so WS13 trades 14% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical WS13 home went from £56,500 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 165%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WS13 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 (+29.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.2%). 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, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £471,200 against £187,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +1.6% | −0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.8% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
WS13 recorded 412 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 651 sales a year before the financial crisis and 503 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 kind of market WS13 is
WS13 sits 2 of 15 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
The rental side of WS13
The local authority for WS13 is Lichfield, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,096 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £737 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,690, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £325,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
When homes in WS13 change hands
Take the 3,051 WS13 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: June completions lead with 11.4% of the total, January trails with 6.0%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

What another bedroom costs in WS
Real sold prices by size across the WS area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £250,000 | £280,000 (+12%) | £320,000 (+14%) | £405,000 (+27%) | £560,000 (+38%) |
