In cash terms the typical WV11 1 home went from £37,100 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 179%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2025, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2025 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WV11 1 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 (+24.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.1%). 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) | −4.3% | −6.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 38 sales completed in WV11 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 189 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 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.
The rental side of WV11 1
WV11 1 falls under Wolverhampton, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £934 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £666 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,427 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wolverhampton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £225,000 median purchase price, a rent of £934 a month (£11,208 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.
How WV11 1 trades
This is a thin market: 38 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

What another bedroom costs in WV
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WV area. 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 | — | £265,000 | £365,000 (+38%) | £550,000 (+51%) | £820,000 (+49%) |
| Semi-detached | £191,500 | £215,000 (+12%) | £247,750 (+15%) | £315,000 (+27%) | £395,000 (+25%) |

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
