In cash terms the typical WV10 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 165%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 4% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WV10 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 (+21.9% 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 54% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £310,000 against £122,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

What WV10 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.2% | +5.7% |

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 WV10
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 389 sales completed in WV10. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 747 sales a year before the financial crisis and 474 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 homes rent for around WV10
WV10 falls under Wolverhampton, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £934 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £666 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,427, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wolverhampton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £230,000 median purchase price, a rent of £934 a month (£11,208 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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 WV
Real sold prices by size across the WV 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.
