In cash terms the typical WS7 4 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £210,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 120%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WS7 4 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 (+30.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−8.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WS7 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.8% | −10.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in WS7 4
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 27 WS7 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 110 sales a year before the financial crisis and 68 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 WS7 4 is
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WS7 4 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 19% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around WS7 4
For renting purposes WS7 4 sits in Lichfield. The ONS average private rent there is £1,096 a month (May 2026). 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 £210,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.3%. 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.

Where do WS7 4 prices go next?

Moving up a bedroom in WS: the cost
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £370,000 (+35%) | £572,400 (+55%) | £821,400 (+44%) |
| Semi-detached | £196,000 | £215,000 (+10%) | £255,000 (+19%) | £340,000 (+33%) | £400,000 (+18%) |
| Terraced | £175,000 | £183,250 (+5%) | £212,500 (+16%) | £291,500 (+37%) | — |
| Flat | £115,000 | £151,000 (+31%) | £247,500 (+64%) | — | — |
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.
