WV11 2 sold prices: where the market stands

Take the 53 registered 2026 sales in WV11 2 and the middle price, the median, is £232,000. The mean lands at £248,600, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

What a square metre costs in WV11 2

Per square metre, WV11 2 homes have averaged around £2,680 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts WV11 2 19% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical WV11 2 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £232,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 160%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+30.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−11.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.

Transaction volumes

WV11 2 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 118 sales a year recently, against 122 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

Rents around WV11 2

For renting purposes WV11 2 sits in Wolverhampton. The ONS average private rent there is £934 a month (May 2026). 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.

Against the £232,000 median purchase price, a rent of £934 a month (£11,208 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.

What kind of market WV11 2 is

This is a thin market: 53 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

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.
