Market Overview: WA5
With 490 recorded transactions in twelve months, WA5 is one of the more liquid postcodes in the sample — individual outliers have less pull on the median figure than they would elsewhere. Individual sales ranged from £525 to £885k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
No single property type dominates — semi-detached houses led with 39% but the mix is diverse, while detached houses accounted for 28% and terraced houses accounted for 24%.
The twelve-month trend is upward: comparing the first half of the window with the second, the median shifted by roughly +6.2%. Monthly volume was fairly consistent, giving the trend line a reliable shape.
Liquidity in WA5 0AB is healthy: the high sale count makes it easier to benchmark a specific property against genuinely recent comparables rather than extrapolating from older deals. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 8.9%, based on ONS regional rents.
