| 1996 | £56,000 | £118,101 | 79 |
| 1995 | £61,200 | £133,039 | 50 |
In cash terms the typical WV5 0 home went from £61,200 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 110%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WV5 0 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 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.9%). 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) | −0.9% | −3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.6% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 25 sales completed in WV5 0. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 64 sales a year recently, against 78 a year before 2008. 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 WV5 0
The local authority for WV5 0 is South Staffordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £945 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £657 a month here against £1,517 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Staffordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £280,000 median sold price, £945 a month is £11,340 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: 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.
How WV5 0 trades
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WV5 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within WV5, this sector trades 10% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
