In cash terms the typical WV15 5 home went from £55,500 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 99%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WV15 5 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 2003 (+35.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −12.9% | −14.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in WV15 5
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 19 WV15 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 67 sales a year before the financial crisis and 42 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 WV15 5
The local authority for WV15 5 is Shropshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £813 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £600 a month here against £1,384 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Shropshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £240,000 median purchase price, a rent of £813 a month (£9,756 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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 WV15 5 is
Only 19 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WV15 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within WV15, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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. 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.
