Market Overview: WA5
Across the last twelve months, 18 residential sales in WA5 produced a median price of £176k. Individual sales ranged from £84k to £273k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
The local market is dominated by terraced houses, which made up 78% of all sales in the sample, while semi-detached houses accounted for 17%. A terraced-house majority usually reflects Victorian or Edwardian stock — long runs of three- or four-storey houses that rarely come to market vacant.
The WA5 0AB dataset is a reasonable baseline, but decisions at the individual-property level should still lean on matched comparables rather than the area median alone. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 12.2%, based on ONS regional rents.
