In cash terms the typical WV4 6 home went from £39,500 in 1995 to £206,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 140%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 7% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WV4 6 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 (+29.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−13.9%). 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) | +3.0% | +0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.1% | +2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.3% |
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
Sales per year, counted
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, 31 sales completed in WV4 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 156 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around WV4 6
For renting purposes WV4 6 sits in Wolverhampton. The ONS average private rent there is £934 a month (May 2026). 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.
£934 a month is £11,208 a year, which against the £206,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
How WV4 6 trades
This is a thin market: 31 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. Within WV4, this sector trades 20% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Where do WV4 6 prices go next?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 25% over five years in cash and flat after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

The price of an extra bedroom in WV
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WV area. 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.

| Detached | — | £265,000 | £365,000 (+38%) | £550,000 (+51%) | £820,000 (+49%) |

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
