| 1995 | £47,500 | £103,258 | 371 |
In cash terms the typical WV11 home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £233,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 126%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 3% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WV11 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 (+22.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.4%). 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, 52% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £344,000 against £104,500 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.4% | 0.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.6% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in WV11
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 296 sales completed in WV11. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 472 sales a year before the financial crisis and 331 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
The local authority for WV11 is Wolverhampton, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £233,000 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.

Moving up a bedroom in WV: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WV area, 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 | — | £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%) |
| Terraced | £170,000 | £180,000 (+6%) | £200,000 (+11%) | £260,000 (+30%) | — |
| Flat | £100,000 | £125,000 (+25%) | £240,750 (+93%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
