What WS14 0 homes really sell for
The 2026 median for WS14 0 is £417,000, taken from 32 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £515,500, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
What a square metre costs in WS14 0
Measured by floor area, the last five years of WS14 0 sales average about £3,910 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical WS14 0 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £417,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 140%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WS14 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 1999 (+51.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−23.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WS14 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) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 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 WS14 0
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.
WS14 0 recorded 32 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 99 sales a year over the last five years against 83 before the financial crisis. 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.
Rents around WS14 0
The local authority for WS14 0 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.
Set against the £417,000 median sold price, £1,096 a month is £13,152 a year, a gross yield of 3.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How WS14 0 trades
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WS14 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
WS14 0 (Shenstone): the questions that come up
Is WS14 0 (Shenstone) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in WS14 0 (Shenstone)?
Are property prices falling in WS14 0 (Shenstone)?
Will WS14 0 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 21% over five years in cash but down 5% after inflation.

The price of an extra bedroom in WS
Real sold prices by size across the WS area, straight 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.

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
