In cash terms the typical WS14 9 home went from £72,800 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 169%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the WS14 9 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 2002 (+45.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.8%). 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) | +10.6% | +8.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.5% | +1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 57 sales completed in WS14 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 258 sales a year before the financial crisis and 195 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 WS14 9 is
Only 57 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WS14 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around WS14 9
The local authority for WS14 9 is Lichfield, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,096 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £737 a month here against £1,690 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Lichfield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £425,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,096 a month (£13,152 a year) works out at a 3.1% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in WS
Real sold prices by size across the WS 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 | — | £275,000 | £370,000 (+35%) | £572,400 (+55%) | £821,400 (+44%) |

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.
