In cash terms the typical WV6 7 home went from £55,500 in 1995 to £272,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 126%, 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 14% 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 WV6 7 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 (+36.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−13.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.4% | −6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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 WV6 7
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.
The register shows 71 WV6 7 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 271 sales a year before the financial crisis and 149 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.
Rents around WV6 7
The local authority for WV6 7 is South Staffordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £945 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £657 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,517 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, South Staffordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £272,500 median purchase price, a rent of £945 a month (£11,340 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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 another bedroom costs in WV
Real sold prices by size across the WV area, straight 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.
