Whitmore Reans market report WV6, Wolverhampton
The WV6 (Whitmore Reans) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 20,907 registered sales in WV6 (Wolverhampton) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 192 registered 2026 sales put the WV6 (Wolverhampton) median at £255,000, up 11% on five years earlier, with a mean of £297,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,970 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 20,907 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

Today's WV6 prices, from the sold record
The WV6 median stands at £255,000 for 2026, built from 192 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £297,900, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
What a square metre costs in WV6
The last five years of sales put WV6 at roughly £2,970 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts WV6 11% below the country at large.

| 1996 | £53,500 | £112,829 | 833 |
| 1995 | £51,000 | £110,866 | 728 |
In cash terms the typical WV6 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 130%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 12% 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 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 2004 (+25.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−7.1%). 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) | −2.7% | −5.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
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, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £380,000 against £120,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
WV6 recorded 431 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 849 sales a year before the financial crisis and 452 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around WV6
WV6 falls under Wolverhampton, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £934 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £255,000 median sold price, £934 a month is £11,208 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in WV
Real sold prices by size across the WV area, straight 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
