In cash terms the typical WS7 9 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 156%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WS7 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 2007 (+34.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−15.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.8% | −6.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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.
WS7 9 recorded 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 138 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around WS7 9
The local authority for WS7 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.
£1,096 a month is £13,152 a year, which against the £300,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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 9 market
This is a thin market: 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the WS7 district median, WS7 9 sits 15% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £370,000 (+35%) | £572,400 (+55%) | £821,400 (+44%) |

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.
