Year-on-year change in the WV11 3 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−16.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WV11 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.3% | +1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.8% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.5% | +2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WV11 3 recorded 55 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 162 sales a year before the financial crisis and 115 a year over the last five. 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.
Reading the WV11 3 market
Only 55 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WV11 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around WV11 3
WV11 3 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.
Set against the £240,000 median sold price, £934 a month is £11,208 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
