In cash terms the typical WS7 3 home went from £47,700 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 131%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 29% 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 WS7 3 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 2008 (+46.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−27.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WS7 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −4.0% | −6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | −1.3% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
Sales activity in WS7 3
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.
The register shows 23 WS7 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 40 sales a year recently, against 38 a year before 2008. 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 homes rent for around WS7 3
The local authority for WS7 3 is Lichfield, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £240,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.
The shape of the WS7 3 market
Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WS7 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within WS7, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Bedroom by bedroom: WS prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WS area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £250,000 | £280,000 (+12%) | £320,000 (+14%) | £405,000 (+27%) | £560,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £195,000 | £205,000 (+5%) | £227,000 (+11%) | £275,000 (+21%) | £335,000 (+22%) |
| Terraced | £170,000 | £182,500 (+7%) | £190,000 (+4%) | £245,000 (+29%) | £310,000 (+27%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
