In cash terms the typical WV7 3 home went from £73,500 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 107%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 9% 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 WV7 3 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 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.7%). 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) | +5.8% | +3.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.6% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 27 WV7 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 81 sales a year recently, against 86 a year before 2008. 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 WV7 3
The local authority for WV7 3 is Shropshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £813 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £600 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,384, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Shropshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £330,000 median sold price, £813 a month is £9,756 a year, a gross yield of 3.0%: 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.
Reading the WV7 3 market
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WV7 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

What another bedroom costs 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.
